Documentation

This dataset includes the sheltered and unsheltered homeless counts from the San Diego Continuum of Care, CA-601.

Caveats

The sheltered count, sheltered_2018, is based on a data extract from HUD, and is similar, although not exactly, the same as the 2018 records for CA-601 from the official HUD HIC dataset, which has been packaged to combine multiple years. . The sheltered_2018 resource in this dataset differs from the HUD dataset in two rows ( 336790, 347741 ) which appear to have been removed in an update made after source file for sheltered_2018 was extracted. However, the PITC beds for the removed rows appear to have been re-allocated, because both datasets have the same value for the sum of the pit_count variable. For many analytical uses, these datasets will be identical.

However, the HUD HIC file has many columns that the sheltered_2018 file does not, including street addresses for the facilities
