Every two years in January, communities across the country conduct comprehensive counts of their homeless population to gain a better understanding of the individuals who are currently experiencing homelessness, and to apply for federal funding for homeless programs.
The 2013 City of San Jose Point-in-Time Count was a community- wide effort conducted on January 29th and 30th, 2013. In the weeks following the street count, a survey was administered to 456 unsheltered and sheltered homeless individuals, in order to profiletheir experience and characteristics.
