REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — This year’s One Day Homeless Count identified 2,240 individuals experiencing homelessness in the early morning hours of January 29, 2026. Of those, 1,095 were staying in shelters, an increase of 110 people from the prior Count, while 1,145 were unsheltered, essentially unchanged. The increase in sheltered homelessness reflects the County’s continued expansion of shelter capacity and stronger pathways to permanent housing.
