This year's count will be for the night of Wednesday, January 24th Why do we do it? It is a requirement from the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) which is a vital source of funding for programs that address homelessness. It helps communities plan services and programs and provides data over time to track progress. What happens to the data? HUD uses all of the PIT data collected to produce the Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, as well as reports by State and by CoC (Continuum of Care).
