EveryOne Counts! Announcement
On Wednesday, February 23rd 2022, Alameda County held the 2022 Homeless Point In Time (PIT) Count with the support of outreach team workers, city staff, County staff, community volunteers, and Guides (those who are currently experiencing homelessness or recently experienced homelessness). Thanks to the support of our community, we were able to conduct a Count of those who are forced to sleep outdoors on the night of February 22nd, 2022. Together, this unsheltered count along with the count of people residing in shelters and transitional housing programs will give us a better understanding of the County’s most vulnerable residents.
The Alameda County 2022 Point in Time Count Full Data report will be released early July 2022. Please sign up on our email list to keep updated on the release of the report here.
A recording of the press conference that accompanied the release of this data is available.
For 2022, EveryOne Home is excited to provide city-specific Point in Time Count data reports that provide a snapshot of the trends in homelessness. Please see the infographic reports for each city in Alameda County below.

PURPOSE of the Point in Time Homeless Count:
Every two years, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to conduct a Point-in-Time (PIT) Count of individuals, youth, and families experiencing homelessness and provide accompanying data. A “snapshot” of homelessness (both sheltered and unsheltered) in our community and nationally. Locally, the data helps:
- Inform program, policy, funding, and system design decisions
- Measure progress in decreasing homelessness
- Increase public awareness
- Advocate for additional resources in our effort to end homelessness countywide.
