The Sacramento Homeless Policy Council (SHPC), which includes elected officials and Sacramento’s Continuum of Care leaders, will come together on Friday, March 11 at 1:00-3:00PM to engage in broad-based, collaborative, and strategic discussions in response to Sacramento’s homelessness crisis. RSVP to attend and stay informed by exploring the link above.
The interactive Public Dashboard provides population and demographic information about people experiencing homelessness in Sacramento. Q4 2021 data is now available. See our website for the latest counts, counts by living situation, and entries and exits.
The 2021 American Rescue Plan (ARP) appropriated $5 billion for Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) through which Sacramento received 494 vouchers to provide rental assistance for individuals and families who meet certain criteria (e.g., homeless, recently homeless, at risk of homelessness). We are pleased to share that an EHV Dashboard is now available to provide you with more details around the number of completed assessments, referrals, demographics served, and more. See the dashboard now!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2022 PIT Count on February 23-24! We greatly appreciate the hundreds of volunteers who dedicated time to canvass 130 zones across Sacramento, count our unsheltered neighbors last, and collect over 500 household surveys. The PIT data provides valuable information used at the federal, state, and local levels for funding and planning purposes. Sacramento's unsheltered PIT report will be published this June.

Make sure to follow our website for updates over the coming months. If you volunteered, please take this short anonymous survey by 5PM on Friday, March 4 to help us improve future PIT Counts.
We're pleased to introduce Man Tsui, Data Analyst and Josh Lowy, Programming Analyst who have joined our growing team. They will play an important role in delivering more accessible homelessness data and information to our community. Read about their passions and what they look to accomplish in their roles!
