Lake Elsinore Seeks Volunteers For 2025 Homeless Point-In-Time Count

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Each year, cities all over the state gather residents to count the number of people living without shelter in their communities. In Lake Elsinore, the 2025 Point-In-Time Count of unsheltered adults is slated for Jan. 22.

Accurately counting the city's homeless population each year is essential for securing state and federal funding, the city said. The count also helps address a "growing public health crisis."

Residents and anyone who wants to help are encouraged to volunteer for the count, which will start at 5:30 a.m. and end at 9:30 a.m. Anyone can register to volunteer here.

"Each year, our community unites to count those who are experiencing homelessness throughout Lake Elsinore and Riverside County," the city said. "This count is vital to ensuring we are on track to reduce homelessness and improve the lives of those in need."

Volunteers will count the number of families and individuals experiencing homelessness to help the city determine the level of need for housing and other services.
