Registration is now open for the 2027 Riverside County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, taking place January 20–22, 2027!

This important countywide effort brings together County departments, cities, community partners, service providers, and volunteers to better understand homelessness throughout Riverside County and help inform our region’s response.

Building on the PIT Count, Riverside County is advancing its More Than a Count initiative, connecting the count with meaningful opportunities to provide housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Through this collaborative effort, we aim to go beyond gathering data by helping connect veterans, youth, families with children, and seniors with resources that support housing stability and well-being.

We extend our sincere thanks to our County partners, including Riverside University Health System - Behavioral Health, the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services’ Self-Sufficiency and Adult Services, Riverside County Office on Aging, Riverside County Veterans Services, and Housing Authority of the County of Riverside, for their partnership in this effort.

We welcome additional County departments interested in joining us to help coordinate housing and social services on the day of the count.
