2022 PIT Count Data Entry Deadline Approaching

For our HMIS-participating Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing agencies, enter your Point-in Time (PIT) night (01/26/2022) data as quickly and completely as possible. You have until February 16th.

For the unsheltered and non-HMIS sheltered count (PIT LIVE):

For our partners participating in the unsheltered, non-HMIS sheltered, or school-based count, collect your surveys and be sure to send them to the appropriate contact in your CoC (defer to local instruction). These counts must be entered into our PIT LIVE tool by February 16th.

We'll work with CoC Coordinators and PIT Leads to review survey data entered into PIT LIVE, highlight potential errors, and make corrections throughout late February and early March.

This is an ongoing process so please watch for clarification requests from your Coordinator or PIT Lead.

Housing Inventory Count

While the PIT Count includes sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons, the Housing Inventory Count (HIC), which is also underway, includes all homeless-serving projects with beds in the Continuum of Care. Again, this year we will be reviewing client level data quality to help inform CoC counts of who was in a residential program the PIT night of January 26, 2022.

PIT in the Media

If you had local media coverage, send it our way and we’ll showcase it on our website!

See the PIT page of our website for more details.
