2025 Point-in-Time Count (PIT) will be Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025 overnight into Thursday, Jan. 23, 2024, with Thursday, Jan. 23, 2024 evening also being a back up date if weather doesn't permit the PIT count to happen on Wednesday night.
The PIT count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires each Continuum of Care (CoC) receiving federal funds nationwide to conduct in the last 10 days of January each year.
The PIT establishes the dimensions of the problem of homelessness and helps policymakers and program administrators track progress toward the goal of ending homelessness. HUD uses this information from the local PIT counts, among other data sources, to prepare the congressionally mandated Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR). This report informs Congress about the number of people experiencing homelessness in the US as well as the effectiveness of HUD programs. On the local and regional level, the PIT counts help CoC’s plan services and programs to appropriately address local needs, measure progress in decreasing homelessness, and identify strengths and gaps in their current system.
Registration Link to be announced, if interested in volunteering to go out to unsheltered sites the night of PIT to survey the unsheltered, please email [email protected].
