San Francisco's homeless count, conducted on January 25, 2005, consisted of a point-in-time census of the street population and homeless persons residing in shelters, resource centers, transitional housing, mental health and substance abuse treatment beds, San Francisco General Hospital and the County Jail. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all jurisdictions that receive McKinney-Vento Act Continuum of Care funding to submit detailed information on their homeless populations, both sheltered and unsheltered, as part of annual funding applications. Beginning in 2005, HUD will require the count to be conducted bi-annually at a minimum. The 2004 funding application specified that jurisdictions were to conduct their 2005 count in the final week of January 2005.
