2022 Unsheltered & Sheltered Point-in-Time (PIT) Count
Why is the PIT
count important?
More than just counting numbers...
The PIT count is the main data source for measuring
progress on the goals of HUD's Opening Doors, the federal strategic plan to prevent and end Homelessness.
Data about the prevalence of homelessness in each
community can help galvanize local responses to
accelerating progress on ending homelessness.
But the count can be more than just a count, too. The PIT count also provides an opportunity for CoC organizations to amplify the information they gather with more in-depth surveys. (such as the current Unsheltered Encampment Survey) It helps:
• Understand the problems & barriers facing people who live on the streets.
• Identify areas where services and support are most needed. • Bring future financial support and resources into
San Joaquin County.
It is led by HUD sponsored Continuum of Care's across the United States during last 10 days of January. Over 400 CoC's in the United States.
