County employees take part in Chula Vista point‑in‑time count, citing long-running participation
San Diego County employees gathered before dawn in Chula Vista to conduct outreach surveys as part of the county’s point‑in‑time count, county staff said in a recorded county news segment.

Julian Torres, who introduced himself on camera, said, "I'm conducting a survey as part of the San Diego point in time count." A separate county team member said, "I've been doing this 10 years now," and added the work "makes me happy" because it "could positively affect not just 1, but many individuals' lives throughout the county of San Diego."

Speakers described a cross‑departmental effort. One staff member said the county team has participated "actually since 2014" and that "over the years [we've had] over 4,000 employees participate in the count." Staff from the Office of Homeless Solutions and Hospital and Community Support Services were specifically mentioned as participating and learning from each other in the field.

The segment recorded routine field questions and interactions: surveyors asked people where they had slept the previous night and closed conversations with thanks. One exchange included the request, "Can I get a gift card, please?" recorded during field work.

Participants emphasized camaraderie and recruitment: several staff described the event as a tradition and encouraged colleagues and family to join future counts. The county news segment closed with reporter Anita Lightfoot identifying the county news center as the source of the piece.

No formal policy decisions or votes were recorded in the segment; the recording documented fieldwork, staff reflections on impact, and recruitment and training relationships across county units.
