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.
PIT is an annual mini census of the homeless community. It provides important information that helps our community better understand the needs of the folks experiencing homelessness and how we can better work to make Central Alabama a place where no adult, youth or child has to experience homelessness.
