As recommended by the Homeless Trust, the City should compare current Point-in-Time (PIT)
Census results with those from approximately one year prior for accurate data analysis. According
to the latest PIT results, the City of Miami Beach has seen an 8% decrease in unsheltered
homelessness since the comparable census conducted in August 2024, when the unsheltered
population was recorded at 132 individuals.
We remain committed to our collaborative efforts with City departments and community partners.
Despite ongoing challenges, we continue to advance our mission of providing compassionate
support to those in need through strategic engagement, comprehensive services, and responsible
enforcement.
