People Receiving Homeless Response Services by Age, Race, Gender, Veteran Status, and Disability Status

Published by California Interagency Council on Homelessness | State of California | Catalog Last Checked: July 31, 2026 at 08:43 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 19, 2026 at 09:32 PM
Yearly statewide and by-Continuum of Care total counts of individuals receiving homeless response services by age group, race, gender, veteran status, and disability status. This data comes from the Homelessness Data Integration System (HDIS), a statewide data warehouse which compiles and processes data from all 44 California Continuums of Care (CoC)—regional homelessness service coordination and planning bodies. Each CoC collects data about the people it serves through its programs, such as homelessness prevention services, street outreach services, permanent housing interventions and a range of other strategies aligned with California’s Housing First objectives. The dataset uploaded reflects the 2026 HUD Data Standard changes. Gender data is sourced from prior uploads and matched to the most recent HMIS uploads from each CoC. Sex data, introduced in the federally mandated HUD HMIS FY2026 Data Standards updates, will begin to be reported on in Calendar Year 2026. All Gender and Sex data is incomplete for Calendar Year 2025, and therefore not presented here or on the HDIS public dashboard. Information updated as of 05/19/2026.
