A regional task force began releasing monthly data in October that compares who became homeless with those who found housing
Almost 1,000 people became homeless in San Diego County last month while only about 600 homeless people found some type of housing, according to the latest monthly report from the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness.
While the 984 people who became homeless in November looks grim, the number was the lowest of any month since the task force began compiling data in October 2021. It also was a significant drop from the 1,343 people who became homeless for the first timeThe wide difference wasn’t unusual, as the numbers over the past year sometimes have fluctuated significantly.
“We put out this report because if we stop doing prevention, the numbers are just going to continue to increase,” she said. “It’s really important that we still are focused on prevention and we double down on it. It’s needed now more than ever, which also means a lot of our service providers need the community to help them with those basic needs.”
Service providers throughout the county have said they have seen a dramatic increase in the number of newly homeless people. The latest task force report showed that the 114 agencies that provide assistance for people in need had about 27,000 active clients last month. Of those served, about 8,200 were 55 or older, 1,900 were transitional-age youths 18-24, and 3,900 were veterans. The agencies reported serving about 2,400 families in need.
