HUD Point In Time

The HUD Point in Time (PIT) homelessness census is an annual effort to better understand the scope of homelessness in the United States. The census helps ensure adequate resources are committed to the issue. A key aspect of the census is the count and survey of unsheltered individuals and households. The HUD Point In Time Counting Tool provides a convenient and accurate means for street count volunteers to gather this vital data.
