The Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County released the results of the 2026 Point-in-Time Count & Survey, which involves volunteers counting the number of individuals experiencing homelessness over three days across Fort Bend, Harris, and Montgomery counties.

This year's count took place in mid-February, with the results being released June 12.

The results are in: The report found that a total of 3,321 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in February, with 2,051 being sheltered individuals and 1,270 being unsheltered individuals.

The majority of homeless individuals were accounted for in Harris County, with 53.9% of sheltered individuals and 35.8% of unsheltered individuals coming from the most populous county in Texas.

The numbers are consistent with the figures from the 2025 report, which showed that approximately 3,325 individuals were homeless across the three counties.

More information: Officials with the coalition also pointed out that this year's report expands beyond the PIT Count to include additional indicators such as year-round interactions with the homeless response system, housing stability outcomes and inflow.

Houston City College and Space Center Houston signed a memorandum of understanding June 9 aimed at exposing students to programs the center offers.

What it means: The agreement—which first came about a year-and-a-half ago when HCC Chancellor Margaret Ford Fisher met with Williams Harris, president and CEO of Space Center Houston—will give students access to NASA-level science, hands-on STEM workshops, interactive astronaut presentations
and immersive aerospace projects.

HCC Southwest President Michael Webster said the center has competitions, camps and training available, but they need students and participants to fill those activities, something HCC can easily provide.

What they're saying: “This partnership brings new opportunities to connect education, workforce development and real-world experiences,” Harris said. “Together, we can help learners develop skills, confidence and capabilities needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.”

Next steps: Webster said there are plans for courses to take place this summer, but officials are still figuring out where they will take place within HCC.
