Point In Time Count

Tracking our Homeless

Every January, communities around the country participate in a Point-in-Time (PIT) count of their local homeless population.

During our local PIT, outreach teams set out to capture the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in Evansville in a single winter night. We track individuals by family size, age group, veteran status, disability and more.

PIT data helps us identify those suffering from chronic homelessness, along with gaps in services and overall effectiveness of existing programs.

See Evansville’s 2022 PIT numbers.
