The City of Carlsbad is committed to addressing the problem of homelessness in our community and has devoted local resources toward this goal. To meet the goals of the City Council's 5-Year Strategic Plan, staff are implementing an updated Homelessness Action Plan to reduce homelessness and its effects on the community.
The Homelessness Action Plan continues the city's strategy of focusing on programs that will make the biggest difference for Carlsbad.

2024 Point in Time count
Thursday was the annual Point in Time count, an organized, nationwide effort to collect data on homelessness on the same day over a four-hour period. For the West Coast, the count starts at 4 a.m.
- Locally, the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness coordinates the count.
- In Carlsbad, community members are invited to participate alongside members of the city’s Homeless Response Team.
- The data collected in Carlsbad is one of several metrics we use to gauge the success of our Homelessness Action Plan.
- It also helps us better understand the population experiencing homelessness and how we can best direct resources to address the problem and the effects on our community.
