2025 Homeless Data

The Lake County Coalition for the Homeless has compiled local data to better understand and address homelessness in our community. Drawing from multiple sources—including the Point-in-Time Count, System Performance Measures, and the Annual Assessment of Coordinated Entry—this data provides valuable insight into the challenges faced by individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

These findings guide our efforts to develop lasting solutions and ensure that homelessness in Lake County becomes rare, brief, and nonrecurring.
