2015 Cambridge Point-in-Time Count Report Available

On the night of February 25, 2015, staff from the Department of Human Service Programs, partner agencies, and community volunteers completed the annual count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The census includes a count of individuals and families staying in emergency shelters and transitional housing, and a count of unsheltered individuals.

The unsheltered count took place overnight between February 25 and February 26, and would not have been possible without the dedicated volunteers, street outreach staff and provider community, and the incredible support from Professional Ambulance and the Cambridge Police Department.

Volunteers distributed care packages that included snacks donated by Whole Foods Fresh Pond, scarves created by the Many Helping Hands MLK Day volunteers, and beautiful handmade hats donated by the knitting group at the North Cambridge Senior Center.
