When considering the PIT Count numbers for 2026, we should be mindful of the following:
At least 20 new sheltered residents are likely due to Caswell-Brown Village finalizing a kitchenette designating those Tiny Shelter units as emergency shelter.
This means there is still a significant increase in unsheltered. A contributing factor is that a focus was made to reach underserved communities such as South County region.
All important to consider while looking at the data.
Aging Homelessness

Shared Highly Vulnerable Populations
Jefferson Healthcare reported 45 unhoused individuals were seen in the ER or admitted in 2025
19 would have benefited from structured long-term care –
Assisted living
Adult family home
Skilled nursing
Jefferson Healthcare found placement for 6:
2 to out of state locations to live with family
Of the four who found placement in group homes or skilled nursing facilities 2 recently returned – a 63 year old male and a 70 year old female (both were previously served in Clallam
County)
OlyCAP recently placed an individual in a Tiny Shelter who was banned from accessing Serenity House shelter and housing in Clallam County. This individual was over 70 years of age, being
treated for cancer, and arrived with a doctor note stating he would not survive outside another year.
This is functioning as a shared regional population despite lack of regional coordination.
Due to the significant need found over the years OlyCAP is heading a feasibility workgroup. Members include:
Jefferson Healthcare
Olympic Medical Physicians
Hospital Commissioners
Clallam Respite Care Coordinator / Medical Outreach Director
Clallam Hospice Care
OPCC (free clinic serving uninsured and underinsured populations in Clallam County)
JC MASH (free clinic serving uninsured and underinsured populations in Jefferson County)
Community Paramedics from both counties
Port Angeles City Council
Legislative Champion : Rep Adam Burnbaum
Due to the shared population, Jefferson County Coordinated Entry also includes involvement of regional providers in the Advisory Committee and the Staffing Group. We have actively sought
engagement with Serenity House but thus far have been unsuccessful. We do have engagement with regional veterans services – we have been successful in place some veterans from Jefferson
County in available veteran housing in Clallam and elsewhere. We have also placed individuals in the Medical Respite for people experiencing homelessness in Clallam County.
