Services to End and Prevent Homelessness: A Regional Update and Homeless Services in the County
Update: The HHS Committee will receive a regional update on homeless services in the County from representatives of DHHS’ Services to End and Prevent Homelessness. The meeting will include updates on the Point in Time Survey, which was released last month. The annual Point in Time report provides a one-night “snapshot” of the region’s residents experiencing homelessness within the eight metropolitan Washington area jurisdictions. This year’s report showed that Montgomery County had a 32 percent increase in the number of persons experiencing homelessness in the region from 2024 to 2025 with a total of 1,510 individuals. In May, the Council approved Montgomery County’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Operating Budget for Services to End and Prevent Homelessness at nearly $62 million, which is a 25 percent increase from the FY25 budget.
