Preventing and Ending Homelessness
In the 2023 Point in Time Count (PIT) of homeless individuals there were 171,000 homeless people in California.
We provided 4,997 people with assistance last year in Contra Costa, Solano and Sacramento counties.
The number of California homeless persons grew by 32,000 post pandemic.
30% of the people we serve are in households with at least one child.
Post pandemic, more than 1.5 million California renters are at risk for eviction.
We served 1,606 children last year and gave them a place to sleep.
A majority of Contra Costa County low-income renters spend more than 50% of income on rent, leaving little for food, health care and transportation.
We gave an average of $7,004 per household to help with housing costs.
