Every January or February, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) conducts an annual "point-in-time" count of homeless persons throughout Los Angeles County. Missing from their tally, however, are those for the cities of Long Beach, Glendale, and Pasadena. These three cities conduct their own count within their jurisdictions, independent of LAHSA. They do work to coordinate with LAHSA, in order to provide as close to a countywide count as possible. Here are homeless count results reported in a June session of the Glendale City Council. A comprehensive report is forthcoming.

In Glendale's 2025 Homeless Count, 40% were female and 1% were either transgender or more than one gender.

* This category overlaps all other racial categories. Hispanic/Latino is considered an ethnic rather than a racial category and persons identified as Hispanic/Latino may also identify with one or more racial categories. Of the 179 persons recorded in the 2024 homeless count, 70 identified as not Hispanic/Latino.
Note: Age data in Glendale homeless counts prior to 2020 were somewhat incomplete. These are reflected by the N/A entries in the table below. Even the 2022 count deviated by consolidating the age groups 35-44 and 45-54 into a single age group, contrary to count reports for 2020 and since 2023.
