Mayor Yemi’s statement on 2025 Point-In-Time (PIT) Count

Mayor Yemi issued this statement following the release of the findings from the 2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count for El Paso County.

"The Point-in-Time Count offers more than numbers, it offers insight. Insight into what's changing, where the greatest needs are, and how we can respond more effectively as a city. That is why I chose "data" as the City's word of the year. Because data helps us move beyond assumptions and into the realm of real, measurable solutions for our community.

"Homelessness is a complex challenge, but Colorado Springs is not standing still. Our Homeless Response Action Plan released last year is guiding our coordinate response that includes:

  • Increased transitional housing
  • Expanded outreach efforts downtown
  • Target enforcement where needed
  • And strong community partnerships across our community.

"I am especially grateful to the volunteers, service providers, and community partners who made this year's count possible. Your work matters. With data in hand and shared purpose at heart, I believe we can move closer to a city where homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring."
