2022 Point in Time Count

San Bernardino County has conducted the first Point-In-Time Count of the county’s homeless population in two years. The results will help determine how much assistance the county receives from the federal government to address homelessness.
This year’s count took place on Feb. 24. The annual count was suspended in 2021 to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. To make this year’s return of the Point-in-Time Count (PITC) as safe as possible, the County Office of Homeless Services (OHS) provided 2,500 hygiene kits containing items such as socks, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant to participating cities for distribution to the unsheltered homeless who were counted and surveyed this morning. OHS also provided more than 500 KN95 masks and vests to the cities and agencies participating in this year’s PITC.
