Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth): The 2017 Homeless Census (the most recent data available) did not provide discrete data for each jurisdiction. However, the data do show that in Redwood City, there were 94 unsheltered homeless persons, a drop of 58% from the previous census in 2017. Data from the fully countywide survey, while not provided for individual jurisdictions, illustrate general statistics on the population of homeless persons. The 2017 count determined that there were 1,253 homeless people in San Mateo County on the night of January 25, 2017 comprised of: • 637 unsheltered homeless people (living on streets, in cars, in RVs, in tents/encampments) and, • 616 sheltered homeless people (in emergency shelters and transitional housing programs). The 1,253 homeless people (including both sheltered and unsheltered) counted comprised 902 households as follows: • 782 “Adult Only” households, that is without dependent children (86.7 %); • 116 “Family” households, that is with dependent children (12.9 %); • 4 “Child Only” households, that is with no adult present (0.4 %). Veterans represent almost 11% of the homeless population, which is substantially lower than it was in 2011 (23%). 6.3.F. - Page 66
