Misc Distributed at the MeetingYAKIMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES HOMELESS POINT-1N-TIME SURVEY RESULTS Every January, Yakima County conducts a Point -in -Time (PIT) survey to assess homelessness in our county. This one day snapshot captures the characteristics and situations of people without housing. 602 individuals were recorded in the 2025 Point in Time as staying on the streets or in shelters. By comparison, approximately 2,070 people connected to our homeless crisis response system across the entire year of 2024*'.The Point in time should not be interpreted as a complete count of homelessness, but rather an annual survey that provides unique insights into local homelessness,` providing data that is not typicallycaptured throughout the rest of the year.
