Results of annual homeless count awaited ![]() INLAND EMPIRE – (INT) - Hundreds of volunteers came together Thursday (January 23rd) to canvass cities, towns and unincorporated communities in San Bernardino County to support the unhoused and collect data for the annual Point-In-Time Count.
Among those joining the annual head count were the Board of Supervisors, Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk Josie Gonzales, county employees, community groups, homeless service providers and stakeholders. “The annual count is more than just about collecting data,” said Office of Homeless Services Chief Marcus Dillard. “It’s also about connecting the homeless community to housing, healthcare, mental health support and other services to help them get back on their feet.” Data from last year’s count showed the county’s homeless population at 4,237. The annual count is crucial for securing grant funding to assist individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Story Date: February 7, 2025
