A-42 | City of Pleasanton Housing Needs Assessment <br />Figure A-29: Characteristics for the Population Experiencing Homelessness, Alameda County <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Population experiencing homelessness <br />This data is based on Point-in-Time (PIT) information provided to HUD by CoCs in the application for CoC Homeless Assistance <br />Programs. The PIT Count provides a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a single night during the last ten <br />days in January. Each Bay Area county is its own CoC, and so the data for this table is provided at the county-level. Per HCD’s <br />requirements, jurisdictions will need to supplement this county-level data with local estimates of people experiencing <br />homelessness. These challenges/characteristics are counted separately and are not mutually exclusive, as an individual may <br />report more than one challenge/characteristic. These counts should not be summed. <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development <br />(HUD), Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Populations and Subpopulations Reports (2019)) <br /> <br />In Pleasanton, there were no reported students experiencing homelessness in the 2019-2020 <br />school year.
