How many people are homeless in Dallas Texas?

According to the 2019 Point-in-Time Count, there were 4,157 homeless people in Dallas, Texas. This number includes both sheltered and unsheltered individuals. The unsheltered population, which refers to people living on the streets or in other public places not designed for human habitation, was 2,443. The sheltered population, which includes people living in shelters or other temporary housing, was 1,714.

It's important to note that the Point-in-Time Count is conducted once a year on a single night, and it is a snapshot of the homeless population at that specific time. The actual number of homeless people in Dallas may be higher than the count suggests, as it is difficult to accurately count people who are unsheltered and may be hidden or transient.
