Abstract

The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a census of people experiencing both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness on a single night in January. The federal government requires this at least every other year as a condition of funding it distributes to Continuums of Care (CoCs), networks of government agencies and service providers that manage homelessness services and funding in specific regions. In 2025, all Oregon CoCs conducted an unsheltered count and submitted both unsheltered and sheltered PIT Counts data.

This report provides county-level unsheltered and sheltered totals for all Oregon counties and across the state, as well as the Housing Inventory Count (HIC) data on shelter and housing bed totals for people experiencing or exiting homelessness, both reported by Oregon CoCs. We also include the number of children enrolled in Oregon schools who were reported by school districts as experiencing homelessness under a definition that includes PIT Count criteria, as well as children doubled up with other families by necessity rather than choice. Finally, we include estimates of total doubled-up homelessness across the state calculated using census survey data.
