Everyone is encouraged to attend this and our other monthly planning meetings as we plan for the 2025 PIT Count. Community participation is essential to the success of the Count. We value your input on planning logistics, recruiting volunteers and peer guides (those with lived experience of homelessness), and fine-tuning the survey questions. We will also need your participation on the day of the PIT Count itself, which will be at the end of January 2025.
If you have any questions, please contact: Leila Qureishi at the Office of Supportive Housing ([email protected])

What is the Point-in-Time Count?
The Point-in-Time (PIT) count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. HUD requires that Continuums of Care conduct an annual count of people experiencing homelessness who are sheltered in emergency shelter, transitional housing, and Safe Havens on a single night. Continuums of Care also must conduct a count of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness every other year. Each count is planned, coordinated, and carried out locally.
Why does the Point-in-Time Count matter?
Point-in-Time Count data are the primary data used for federal funding allocations and national estimates of homelessness. The numbers reported by your community are used by the US Interagency Council on Homelessness and all federal departments including Housing and Education. PIT Count numbers are also most often cited by local strategic plans, state, county and city government and the media.
