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 2015 San José Point - In-Time Count was a community-wide effort conducted on January 27th and 28th, 2015. In the weeks following the street count, a survey was administered to 626 unsheltered and sheltered homeless individuals, in order to profile their experience and characteristics.
