The 2024 PIT Count Results Are In!
The 2024 Point In Time (PIT) Count was recently conducted to represent the number of people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County, and we are excited to share some promising news. The numbers are slowly improving, indicating that our collective efforts are making a difference. This year, the overall homeless population is down by 2% from last year, and the unsheltered population has seen an incredible 17% decrease.
Positive Trends in Reducing Homelessness
The reduction in both the overall and unsheltered homeless populations is a significant achievement. These improvements are due in part to the increased availability of shelter beds at Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS). By providing more safe spaces for those in need, we are making meaningful strides in addressing homelessness in our community.
The Role of Homeless ID Project
At Homeless ID Project, we are committed to helping individuals obtain the essential identification documents they need to access housing, employment, and other vital services. Without these documents, many people face insurmountable barriers that prevent them from escaping homelessness. Our work is crucial in ensuring that everyone has the tools they need to rebuild their lives.
