Ending Family Homelessness

As people of faith, we believe that no family -- and certainly no child -- should experience homelessness.
The most current Point In Time Count (PIT count) has just been released and there is good news! 
Overall, 2026 PIT data shows:

• Two percent reduction in total number of homeless people, from 1,895 to 1,863.
• Ten percent reduction in sheltered homelessness, decreased by 61 people from 619 in 2024 to 558 in 2026
• Two percent increase in unsheltered homelessness from 1,276 people in 2024 to 1,305 in 2026.
• Six percent reduction in family households experiencing homelessness from 133 family households in 2024 to 125 family households in 2026
