The Point in Time (PIT) Count is a literal count of all the people who experience homelessness in our community on a single night (i.e. at a point in time). This count is conducted in every community nationwide in the last 10 days of January at least every other year. This provides communities, the federal government, and agencies with a “snapshot” of the situation of the most dire homeless in the community.
ICA hosts the PIT summary and data dashboard.
Boone County numbers are included in the Ballance of State (MO BOS).
