An annual survey in Contra Costa County shows the number of people without a home has gone up slightly. As everyone hunts for solutions to the homeless crisis. A county supervisor is pushing for more accountability when it comes to addressing the issue.
Back in January, Contra Costa County held its annual “point-in-time survey,” where volunteers count the number of unhoused individuals across the region over a 24-hour period.
This week, the county recently released those numbers, showing roughly 2,400 people without housing during the period, a 4% increase compared to the last recorded survey in 2020.
