Cities across the United States are conducting their annual street homeless counts, with New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Alameda, and San Mateo counties all participating.

In New York City, migrants sleeping outside will be included in the census, while Los Angeles is recruiting up to 6,000 volunteers for the count. Alameda County has seen a 73% increase in unhoused residents over the past six years.
