The PIT is <br />mandated by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be conducted at least every two years, and <br />includes counting those sleeping in both sheltered (emergency shelter and transitional housing) and <br />unsheltered locations. Orange County, and the cities within Orange County, were further interested in <br />the geographic distribution of the people experiencing homelessness. Because the location of shelters <br />varies throughout the County, the only information that is useful to report at a city level is people <br />experiencing unsheltered homelessness. The full PIT report can be found at www.21loc.org. <br />This brief report provides information for Santa Ana on the estimated number of people who were <br />experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the city on the morning of the 2017 Point -In -Time Count. <br />The estimates were derived using the total unsheltered PIT count as well as census data indicating the <br />2016 estimated poverty population of the city' (see Appendix for a discussion of the data and <br />assumptions used). In addition to the total number of people experiencing homelessness who were <br />unsheltered, the table below provides additional estimates of that population in terms of age, gender, <br />ethnicity, and race. <br />As the table below indicates, 12 people in families experiencing homelessness and 454 unsheltered <br />individuals (a total of 18.0% of the all people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the County of <br />2,584 individuals) are estimated to have been in Santa Ana. Single adults were primarily: over 24 years <br />old, male, and Caucasian. The 4 family households had 7 adults over 24 years old and 5 children under <br />18 years old. <br />Santa Ana <br />2017 Unsheltered Numbers Adult and Child Adult Only Total <br />Households 4 445 449 <br />Persons <br />12 <br />454 <br />466 <br />< 18 years old <br />5 <br />- <br />5 <br />18-24 years old <br />0 <br />18 <br />18 <br />> 24 years old <br />7 <br />436 <br />443 <br />Gender <br />Female <br />5 <br />72 <br />77 <br />Male <br />7 <br />381 <br />388 <br />Transgender <br />0 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Does not Identify <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />Ethnicity <br />Non-Hispanic/Non-Latino <br />7 <br />309 <br />316 <br />Hispanic/Latino <br />5 <br />145 <br />150 <br />' https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/SBO030212/06059 <br />55C-10 <br />
