The Town of Yucca Valley is reporting a 20% decrease in its unhoused population thanks to the hard work of a few local organizations.
Yucca Valley got good news from the 2022 Point-in-Time Count of unsheltered people: their numbers dropped from 71 in 2020 to 57 this year.
Around 21 volunteers helped with the count that took place in February throughout the Morongo Basin. Town officials thanked Astrid Johnson of Morongo Basin ARCH and Wayne Hamilton of the Morongo Basin School District. They also thanked San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s Homeless Outreach and Proactive Enforcement Team for helping individuals and families connect to resources and support.
