Homeless Count

This year’s annual count found 3,718 people experiencing homelessness in Dallas and Collin counties on a single night in January.

Numbers from the 2024 Point in Time Count show a 12% decrease in Tarrant County’s homeless population compared to the previous year.

Collin County has 100 more homeless people than last year — but Dallas County’s homeless population has gone down.

Housing Forward says it plans to provide rapid rehousing services for as many as 6,000 people in the next two years.

Homelessness is on the rise across Tarrant County, with 2,700 people – more than a third of whom are living on the streets – counted, according to a recent Point in Time count.

Collin County has more than a million residents and is adding more rapidly — but there’s no emergency homeless shelter despite hundreds of people in need.

The latest report from the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance shows a slight decrease in overall homelessness compared to last year.

Despite changes to the regular count of people experiencing homelessness, support organizations are hoping they’ll still be able to capture a clear picture of who is unhoused in Texas as the pandemic continues.

Instead of having over 1,000 volunteers take the the street on one night in January, local homeless response teams will spend two weeks in February canvassing Dallas and Collin Counties to try and get an accurate count.
