As you are aware, we had a very robust PIT operation this year, with a 40% increase in volunteers (for a total of 1,184 people); a 47% increase in number of mapped areas; and 20 of the 34 Orange County cities also opting in to receive city level report. While conducting the PIT and submitting the results to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is a requirement in order fog our community age,icie., to receive Million in funding to help house those in need, it's important to remember that it's only a snapshot of the work done in our community to solve the issue of homelessness. The PIT information reported to HUD covers the unsheltered persons counted on the morning on January 28th, plus those individuals and families who were sheltered in either Emergency Shelters or in Transitional Housing projects on the night of January 27th. The culmination of this information is found in the attached report. What the report noes not cover are those who are housed in Permanent Housing programs. Tnere has been a concerted effort under way in Orange County during the past two years to focus on those in greatest need, i.e. the chronically homeless population as defined By HUD. These programs include permanent supportive housing (PSR) and rapid rehuaaing (RRFI), a., well a., funding for planning and the Coordinated Entry system (CES), which matches our homeless individuals and families to PSH and RRH, as well as directing people to Emergency Shelters. With the addition of The Courtyard and Bridges at Kraemer Place, we have additional Emergency Shelter capacity that was greatly needed. During the past two years (June 2015 — April 2017), the Orange County Continuum of Care Street Outreach i eams and service providers, via the Coordinated Entry System, have: • connected to 908 families and 2,094 individuals for vulnerability assessments; • diverted 78 families and 32 individuals away trom homelessness; = placed 66 families and 232 individuals in PSH/RRH programs; matched 179 families and 33/ individuals to available PFI/RRR program; • helped an additional 302 families and 1,123 individuals to get the paperwork needed prior to Being matched to housing (proof of disability, verifi-ation of homele», ie.,.,,etc.); of this group 55% have pulled their documents together and are considered "document ready." In addition, between October 2015 and September 2016, 1,023 persons were moved to Belt-sutticiency trom RRH programs to permanent Rousing. The community has also made great strides in increasing the Permanent Supportive Housing unit capacity, meaning that individuals who have a disability (either physical or mental) are provided with housing and wrap around support services. PSH capacity growth as reported in the OC annual Housing Inventory Count increased from 2,392 beds in 2016 to 2,663 beds in 2017.

The PIT is mandated by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be conducted at least every two years, and includes counting those sleeping in both sheltered (emergency shelter and transitional housing) and unsheltered locations. Orange County, and the cities within Orange County, were further interested in the geographic distribution of the people experiencing homelessness. Because the location of shelters varies throughout the County, the only information that is useful to report at a city level is people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. The full PIT report can be found at www.21loc.org. This brief report provides information for Tustin on the estimated number of people who were experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the city on the morning of the 2017 Point -In -Time Count. The estimates were derived using the total unsheltered PIT count as well as census data indicating the 2016 estimated poverty population of the city' (see Appendix for a discussion of the data and assumptions used). In addition to the total number of people experiencing homelessness who were unsheltered, the table below provides additional estimates of that population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, and race. As the table below indicates, 2 people in families experiencing homelessness and 67 unsheltered individuals (a total of 2.7% of the all people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the County of 2,584 individuals) are estimated to have been in Tustin. Single adults were primarily: over 24 years old, male, and Caucasian. The family household had 1 adult over 24 years old and 1 child under 18 years old.

All data were available from the census (https://factfinder.census.gov), a reliable, valid, and widely -used source. We discovered that because published numbers for the most recent years of all the statistics are based on estimates from data collected several years ago, the resulting city estimates were nearly identical regardless of the statistic used. Poverty rate was used in these estimates. The number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness was proportionally assigned to each city based on poverty rates. Specifically, the total number of people in poverty was calculated for Orange County, and for each city, allowing Focus Strategies to apply a percentage of total poverty to each city. This percentage was then multiplied by the total number of people who were unsheltered resulting in the unsheltered count for each city. Table 1 illustrates the proportions of the number of family and adult only households as well as the proportions of people within family and adult only households. The demographic characteristics of the people within each household type are also provided. Using the data in Table 1 as well as the City poverty rates (shown in Table 2), the estimated number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in each city was first calculated, followed by their demographic characteristics using the proportions in the table below.

Sheltered homeless population data was gathered in surveys completed by agencies that provide shelter or housing to homeless persons as a part of the annual Point in Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC) on the night of January 27th, 2017 to the morning of January 28th, 2017. The demographics in these tables consist of data aggregated from Transitional Housing and Emergency Shelter project types. Data were aggregated to the city level by Geo Code, a six -digit geographic code developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Planning (HUD) which corresponds to cities and other geographic areas, and which represents the geographic area where the majority of a project's beds dedicated to homeless persons are located. Projects with a Geo Code of 069059 (Orange County) were coded to the city associated with their principal project site for aggregation. Homeless Persons in Tustin ss More than three-quarters (78%) of Tustin's homeless population lives in Transitional Housing or Emergency Shelters (sheltered condition). Only 22% of Tustin's homeless persons reside in 249 places not meant for human habitation (unsheltered condition). Sheltered Unsheltered Homeless Households in Tustin Adult and Child Adult Only The graph shows Tustin's homeless population is predominantly (70%) Adult Only.

The sheltered population is 39% Children, 4% Young Adults, and 56% Adults over the age of 24, whereas the unsheltered population is an overwhelming 94% Adults, 4% Young Adults, and 1% Children. As can be inferred from the graph, Tustin's population is distributed roughly equally among Male (54%) and Female (46%) persons, unlike most other cities which are majority Male. Whereas both genders reside mostly in Transitional Housing or Emergency Shelters (also unique to Tustin), Females sleep almost exclusively (92%) in shelters, whereas only 67% of Males do. Almost two-thirds (63%) of Tustin's homeless population identifies as Non-Hispanic/Non-Latino. There are no considerable differences in sleeping location by ethnicity; both Non-Hispanic/Non-Latino persons and Hispanic/Latino persons live is mostly in sheltered conditions (76% and 82%, respectively). 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2017 Point -In -Time Count City Report: Tustin Race by Sleeping Location White Black or Asian American Native Multiple Races African Indian or Hawaiian or American Alaska Native Other Pacific Islander 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Sheltered Unsheltered Households by Sleeping Location Adult and Child Adult Only Sheltered Unsheltered According to the graph, Tustin's homeless population is largely (84%) White. There are notable differences in sleeping location by race. Persons who identify as White, Black or African American, and Multiple Races reside predominantly in Transitional Housing or Emergency Shelters (80%, 67%, and 80%, respectively). However, persons who identify as Asian live equally in each sleeping location type, whereas American Indian or Alaska Native individuals live entirely unsheltered and those who identify as Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander reside exclusively in sheltered conditions. The graph shows that households consisting of both adults and children reside almost exclusively (98%) in Transitional Housing or Emergency Shelters, whereas Adult Only households are distributed fairly evenly between sheltered (54%) and unsheltered (46%) conditions. 2017 Point -In -Time Count City Report: Tustin 2-1 — / ,oc The following three graphs compare Irvine's percentage of the Orange County homeless population with the median percentage of the homeless population for all cities in the county.
