overview of point in time activity

WHAT
A Point-In-Time, or PIT, count is a statistically reliable, unduplicated count of people experiencing homelessness during a designated one-night period. Wisconsin conducts this count twice per year.

WHEN 
  • Overnight Street Count/Known Location Count Start:
    • PIT count cannot start before 11:00 pm on Wednesday, January 27th​
  • Overnight Street Count/Known Location Count End: 
    • ​PIT count must end no later than 6:00 am on Thursday, January 28th
  • Service Based Post-Count End: 
    • ​The post-PIT survey process begins at 6:00 am on Thursday, January 28th and ends Wednesday, February 3rd, at 5:00 pm. 
      **This is a change from previous years.  Rather than end the post-PIT count on Friday evening, there have been several requests to extend the time period.  This means that if, for example, someone enters a shelter on Saturday and reports that they were homeless Wednesday night, you could administer the unsheltered count survey to them about Wednesday night.  If there are questions about this, please let me know.
      ​

WHY
 A PIT is intended to capture a minimum amount of information on the homeless population in order to create a “snapshot” of what homelessness looks like in a neighborhood, city, or state. The data collected through the Point-in-Time process is reported in the Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) that is provided to the U.S. Congress. Homeless information is also reported to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, and is utilized to develop the Housing Inventory Chart for the Balance of State Continuum of Care.

WHO
This count is intended to include persons that are homeless and are living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, safe havens for the homeless, domestic violence shelters, or who are unsheltered living on the streets or any other place not mean for human habitation.

WHERE
All across the state of Wisconsin and across the country, the Point in Time is conducted, by volunteers.

training

The required 2017 trainings are valid for the process to be used for 2019 counts. Another training following the count will be announced soon and posted here on this page. 
Point-in-Time Training #1 *This is required for all PIT LEADS
January 4th, 2017  1-3 pm

The focus of this training will be on the organization of the PIT count, the requirements of the PIT count, the purpose of the PIT count, the HIC, etc. There will be some results shared from the last several Point-in-Times, etc. If you have members of the local continua that struggle with the count or the reasons behind doing a count, this would be a good training for them to hear – whether live or watch the recording.  We will go over what data needs to be collected during the sheltered and unsheltered PIT count for both HMIS and non-HMIS agencies.
