POINT IN TIME COUNT
EVERYONE COUNTS IN ORANGE COUNTY
The Point In Time is a biennial count and survey of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness on a given night during the last ten days in January. The count provides vital information that helps the County of Orange (County) and the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) better understand homelessness in the community and guides the way the County, CoC, and its partners respond to homelessness in Orange County. In 2019, the County of Orange launched Everyone Counts OC to support the effort.
The County of Orange and Orange County Continuum of Care will conduct the sheltered count the night of Monday, January 26, 2026, and the unsheltered count starting the morning of Tuesday, January 27, 2026 through Thursday, January 29, 2026.
