Recent factors included collaboration between the Housing and Homelessness
Division, other City Departments, the County, and non-profit partners, as well as the
establishment of our Homeless Outreach Team and COAST Teams.
The 2024 PITC results show a slight decrease
in the City’s homeless population, from 1,507
in 2023 to 1,417.
However, San Bernardino continues to have
by far the most unhoused residents in the
County – 33%. More work needs to be done.
Nonetheless, this marks the first decrease in
San Bernardino in over a decade.
