The Numbers
Point in Time Survey:
The following is a reflection of the data collected during the 2019 Point-in-Time (PIT)-- a "snapshot" count of those experiencing homelessness on one night during the last two weeks of January (in 2019, the PIT was conducted on January 23). This is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The table below provides a comparison of the past three years.
