The Point In Time (PIT) count brings funding to Monroe County by providing an accurate, reliable count and survey of unsheltered homeless people at a particular point in time. The snapshot gets reported to HUD, providing the ability to see our needs as a community and assess the population’s characteristics to fund best-practice interventions in response to those characteristics.

Volunteers will receive training before the event. On the day of the PIT, volunteers will meet in one location to pick up supplies for the day. Then, small teams of volunteers will go out to different areas across the community, and provide personal care kits to homeless community members, and ask them to complete a brief survey. Volunteers will support with the survey tool as needed. Thank the individual, and continue canvassing the area - offering support, and free supplies across the community.
