More Information about the Point-in-Time Count
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a survey that shows how many people are experiencing homelessness in communities across the United States. This information helps local programs plan services and make sure resources go where they are needed most.
Many individuals and families without stable housing often go unseen. To address the housing crisis, we need to understand how many people have access to shelter and how many are still without a safe place to stay.
The PIT Count is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It includes people who are unsheltered as well as those staying in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or Safe Havens on a single night.
Your participation in the PIT Count is more than just a number. Whether you're experiencing homelessness, joining the PIT Crew, hosting a pop-up to distribute resources, you make a direct impact on the amount of funding Skagit County receives.
Your donations will provide crucial resources — warm clothing, bedding, hygiene kits, and more — to people in need. These will be distributed by our outreach teams and at pop-up locations throughout the county. Every contribution helps directly support our neighbors in need.
