Point-In-Time Homeless Count

 

The Point-In-Time homeless count is a mandated count by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to be completed at least every two years. It is also a requirement to qualify for state funds administered by the State Office on Homelessness.

The Point-In-Time count is conducted to identify the number of homeless individuals and families in the county. It also serves to measure the needs of the homeless as well as provide direction for future development of housing and services. The count is scheduled for January 28th and ending January 29th of 2009. It is a vital tool for resource development and planning. The count is also an excellent instrument in measuring our success in housing homeless populations.

As the Lead Entity for the Continuum of Care, the Division of Human Services respectfully seeks support for this project. The Governors Council for Community Health Partnerships has agreed to partner with the Division and will be receiving and managing all funds and donations contributed for this event.
