Napa County this week released preliminary data showing a decrease in the overall number of individuals experiencing homelessness but a concerning increase in those experiencing it for the first time.
Currently, the data from the county shows a 16% decrease in the overall count of individuals experiencing homelessness in Napa County between January 2023 and January 2024, according to the preliminary data obtained from the 2024 Point-in-Time count -- an annual census to measure the prevalence of homelessness. Final figures are expected to be presented during a jointly held city and county event on May 21.
As PIT counts typically take place in January, data in 2020 was captured before the massive shutdowns began in March that year. The PIT count consists of two primary components -- the count of people living in shelters or unsheltered outdoors or in cars, and a survey of more than 250 individuals experiencing both types of homelessness to capture demographic data and other characteristics.
