Homeless census in 5 WNY counties

This shows the total number of homeless people in Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming counties by year, and the number living unsheltered in places not suitable for habitation, like the streets, parks, abandoned buildings, or cars.

No census was taken of unsheltered people in 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
