This section produces reports and analysis regarding homelessness in our communities. In the past, the RTFH produced one annual report entitled the Regional Homeless Profile (RHP). Going forward, there will be more, targeted reports rather than only one report.

Point In Time Count (WeALLCount)
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.
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).
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).
