Summary
The 2019 Marin County Homeless Count and Survey was performed using Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-recommended practices for counting and surveying those experiencing homelessness. The 2019 Point-in-Time Count identified 1,034 persons experiencing homelessness in Marin County. This represents a decrease of 7% from the count conducted in 2017.
Between the 2017 and 2019 Point-in-Time Counts, Marin housed 109 of the most vulnerable chronically homeless residents of Marin under the new system-wide approach, with a 94% housing retention rate. These placements, combined with a shift to housing-focused shelter at Homeward Bound’s Mill Street Center emergency shelter, a diversion program at the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin, a modified Assertive Community Treatment case management team at the Ritter Center, and a partnership between the Marin County Health and Human Services and Marin Housing Authority, contributed to the decreases in homelessness seen in this report.
