Numbers are a starting point, not the whole story.
The Tuscaloosa City and County Continuum of Care is the local planning body whose published profile supplies the area figures below. A Point-in-Time Count is a one-night snapshot, so it does not measure every person who experiences housing instability during a year. It does provide a consistent way to understand local conditions and changes over time.

Local figures come from HUD’s 2024 performance profile for the Tuscaloosa City and County Continuum of Care, which includes Point-in-Time Count and system-performance measures. National figures come from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ January 2025 summary of the January 2024 Point-in-Time Count.
HUD explains that Point-in-Time estimates are collected on one night in January. They are useful for comparing annual snapshots, but they are not a count of everyone who experienced homelessness over an entire year.
A ready reference for local reporting and community work.
