Public Information for PIT 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 CoCs conduct an annual count of people experiencing homelessness who are sheltered in emergency shelter, transitional housing, and Safe Havens on a single night. CoCs also must conduct a count of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness every other year (odd numbered years). Each count is planned, coordinated, and carried out locally.
If you would like to volunteer for help survey those experiencing homelessness in your area of SC, send an email to info@schomeless.org and place Volunteer for PIT in the subject line. Someone will be in touch!
