    The Point in Time Count is currently set to take place on January 23, 2025.

    During the 2024 Point In Time (PIT) count, we made changes to the overall data collection process in HMIS. For the 2025 count, we will continue using client project enrollments (Entry/Exit) for Emergency Shelter (Entry/Exit), Transitional Housing, and Safe Haven project types to generate the count for the PIT date. This approach has replaced the previous method of using the Shelters (ShelterPoint) unit list.

    For Emergency Shelter - Night By Night projects, clients must still have an Enrollment and a Shelters (ShelterPoint) service, following the same process as in previous years.
