There are 4,508 homeless people living in Riverside County, county officials said Wednesday.
The county Department of Public Social Service organized the federally mandated census, which was conducted Jan. 24 with the help of 200 volunteers.
The survey identified 6% fewer homeless people than in 2005, when officials counted 4,785.
The count included homeless individuals living in transitional housing and emergency shelters, as well as those who live on the streets.
