This section includes reports and analysis regarding homelessness in our communities. Until 2011, the RTFH produced one annual report entitled the ‘Regional Homeless Profile (RHP)’, now the RHP is the title of this section of the site and includes our reports and other relevant reports on homelessness.
WeALLCount Campaign (aka, Point-In-Time Count – PITC)
Mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Count is a one-day count to estimate the number and location of homeless persons throughout San Diego County, both on the street (unsheltered) and those in shelters. In-depth questionnaires are conducted with at least 10% of unsheltered persons. This process enable us to assess the characteristics of those who are homeless which enables our Continuum of Care to design, deliver, and measure service outcomes.
Regional Homeless Assessment Profile (RHAP)
The RHAP is a broad-based analysis of homelessness in our region. Data in the report includes: the AHAR (Annual Homeless Assessment Report) and the Point-In-Time Count (PITC).
Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR)
The AHAR is a report to the U.S. Congress on the extent and nature of homelessness in America. The report is based primarily on Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) data. The RTFH supplies this data to HUD for our region. The final AHAR is completed by HUD and provides nationwide estimates of homelessness (e.g., demographics, service use patterns, housing capacity, etc).
