People Receiving Homeless Response Services by Age, Race, Gender, Veteran Status, and Disability StatusYearly statewide and by-Continuum of Care total counts of individuals receiving homeless response services by age group, race, gender, veteran status, and disability status. This data comes from the Homelessness Data Integration System (HDIS), a statewide data warehouse which compiles and processes data from all 44 California Continuums of Care (CoC)—regional homelessness service coordination and planning bodies. Each CoC collects data about the people it serves through its programs, such as homelessness prevention services, street outreach services, permanent housing interventions and a range of other strategies aligned with California’s Housing First objectives. The dataset uploaded reflects the 2026 HUD Data Standard changes. Gender data is sourced from prior uploads and matched to the most recent HMIS uploads from each CoC. All Gender and Sex data is incomplete for Calendar Year 2025, and therefore not presented here or on the HDIS public dashboard. Information updated as of 05/19/2026.

HELP Act Goals, Statewide and by CoCThe HELP Act Goals were developed by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), pursuant to Homeless Equity for Left Behind Populations (HELP) Act (SB 914). The goals help the state assess its progress toward reducing and ending homelessness for survivors of domestic violence, their children, and unaccompanied women. Measures for each goal are generated using data from the state's Homelessness Data Integration System (HDIS). Values under 11 and values that allow numbers under 11 to be calculated are suppressed by an asterisk. Cells are blank if data is not available for a given year. For more information about the measures and how they are calculated, please see the HELP Act Data Glossary: https://bcsh.ca.gov/calich/documents/help_data_dictionary.pdf For more information about HDIS, please visit https://bcsh.ca.gov/calich/hdis.html.

CA System Performance Measures, Statewide and by CoCThe California System Performance Measures (CA SPMs) are a series of metrics developed by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), pursuant to Health and Safety Code §50220.7, that help the state and local jurisdictions assess their progress toward preventing, reducing, and ending homelessness. All measures except for Measure 1b are generated using data from the state’s Homelessness Data Integration System. Measure 1b and Point in Time (PIT) Count data are sourced from each Continuum of Care’s PIT Count. Measure 1b and PIT Count data are not shown for 2021 because of irregularities in that year’s counts. For more information about the measures and how they are calculated, please see the California System Performance Measures Guide and Glossary: https://calich.ca.gov/documents/california_system_performance_measures_guide.pdf For more information about Measure 1b and PIT Count data, please see the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s website: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hdx/pit-hic.
