Statement from Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings on Homeless Point-In-Time Count | April 4, 2025

"I am encouraged to learn that the recent point-in-time count shows a slight decrease in Orange County's homeless population, but I remain deeply concerned for those who are still unsheltered. Orange County Government continues to be the largest single funder of public services for the homeless in Central Florida.

In our 2024-2025 budget, we have dedicated over $56 million to support the needs of the homeless population, including mental health, health care services, and housing. Our goal is to work hand in hand with our regional partners to reduce the number of individuals experiencing homelessness and provide support to those most at risk."

-Mayor Jerry L. Demings
