Homelessness Trends

Data is at the heart of our initiatives. Here, we share meaningful insights and stories that highlight the efforts to prevent homelessness. 

Every month, the Maricopa Homelessness Data Report provides a snapshot of the trends in the populations experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County. The report includes the number of people experiencing homelessness and more detailed information on demographics, subpopulations, and programs. The report includes data from the Maricopa Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) unless otherwise noted.
