Future generations will gain from the Center's role in building and sustaining safe, stable, and healthy communities. Your neighbors, Mike and Tina, have been stretched thin in recent years. Their twin girls are now in middle school, still so full of energy and now needing even more time to socialize. Tina’s dear mom Susan moved in with them after the death of her husband, and she needs a lot of care. Susan’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis means she cannot be left alone even for a short while. While they love having their house full of family, the increasingly common demands of growing children, an aging parent, and their busy careers has been a lot to handle. They are exhausted. Imagine Mike and Tina having the support they need in one location in their own backyard. They head to the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center, where they drop the girls off at the Boys and Girls Club for an afternoon of sports and hanging with friends. Susan receives socialization and care at the onsite Adult Day Program. And Mike and Tina can grab a coffee, go on a date, run some errands, or even just rest at home. The whole family is enriched and recharged. Thanks to the programs at the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center, Mike and Tina are able to get some relief just minutes away from home. Their kids are thriving, and Susan has a high quality of life. And while their lives are still busy, the extra support makes all the difference.

The Point-In-Time (PIT) Count measures homelessness on a single night throughout the nation. Skagit County Point-in-Time Count Each January, communities across the nation come together for the Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, measuring homelessness on a single night. Get Involved Participate If you’re experiencing housing insecurity, your participation makes a real difference. The information collected decides how much state and federal funding comes to Skagit County. Receive free resources and supplies throughout the county. Learn More Volunteer Join our PIT Crew! Volunteers will help with the count by collecting information, as well as distributing resources and supplies. Invite friends, family, or coworkers to join and make an even bigger impact! Register Donate While the PIT Count is funded by the County, items like tents, hats, and weather gear are often not covered. Support the count with a secure online donation or order off of our eco-friendly wish list below. Make a Gift Partner Help raise awareness, boost participation, and even host a pop-up location—all while deepening understanding of how the housing crisis impacts our community. Click the button to fill out a form, and let’s start collaborating today! Partnership Inquiry Skagit County PIT Count Pop-Up Locations If you are experiencing homelessness, survey collectors will be distributing supplies and collecting information throughout Skagit county at various pop-up locations. Please check location details for dates and times closer to the next count. Surveys will be completed to get a broader understanding of individual needs in Skagit County. Your personal information is confidential and will not be used for any other purpose. Why it Matters The data determines state and federal funding, helping to bring local resources and support to Skagit County. If you’re facing housing insecurity, your participation makes a direct impact and your information stays confidential. 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. Looking for another way to give?
