Point in Time Count

A one-day census of people experiencing homelessness in Clark County, WA, required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Washington State Department of Commerce.

2025 Point in Time Highlights

  • The number of people counted in Emergency Shelter increased 16 percent due in part to the increase in capacity of winter and severe weather overflow shelter.
  • The number of seniors counted who were age 62 or older increased 21 percent. This increase was primarily among sheltered seniors.
  • The number of unsheltered people counted increased 11 percent from the 2024 count. This increase was almost all among single individuals or households without children.
  • The number of people who identify as Black, Indigenous or Person of Color made up 38 percent of the people counted. This is an overrepresentation as BIPOC individuals make up 25 percent of the population in Clark County, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

The rates of homelessness in Clark County reflect the lack of housing accessible to people with low or limited incomes. There is an increased need for supportive services to help people stabilize and maintain their housing and the need for strategies that target the disproportionate rates of homelessness among people of color compared to white people. Collaboration and increasing resources are key to solving homelessness.
