2024 Homeless Data Released
LCCH has compiled local homeless data to better understand the unprecedented increase in homelessness. Gathering data from multiple sources, including the Homeless Point in Time Count report, System performance measures, and the Annual Assessment of Coordinated Entry provides insight into the complex problem of homelessness.

Mark Your Calendars - 2025 PIT Count
The Point in Time (PIT) Count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January, that takes place in counties all across the United States. The data gathered captures a picture of what homelessness looks like on any given day and also helps coordinate services for people of our county experiencing homelessness. The PIT Count will take place on the night of Wednesday, January 29th, 2025, throughout Lake County, IL. You can register to volunteer here!
If you are unable to attend, but would like to help out in some way, please consider making a donation. This will go towards purchasing items, such as hygiene kits, mylar blankets, boxed water, and gift cards to be handed out the night of the Point In Time Count. You can make a donation to the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless through PayPal, here.
Calling all Landlords
In the effort to connect people experiencing homelessness to housing, we need landlord partners to work with us. In many cases, there are resources to assist in rent payment. If you are interested, please register your housing resources using this simple form.
Please contact the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless with any questions.
