Point in Time Count (PIT)

Annually, every CoC in the nation performs a Point-in-Time (PIT) Count of all people experiencing homelessness in a shelter and on the street in the last 10 days of January. The PIT count offers the ability to monitor trends in homelessness across a geography, support local efforts in ending homelessness by identifying unmet needs and characteristics of persons experiencing homelessness, and identify areas where the development of housing and supportive service programs is needed. The PIT count is reliant on volunteer and agency participation. If you or your agency have an interest in taking part in the PIT count please email pit@wvceh.org

The 2024 Point-in-Time Count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, January 24th, 2024 beginning at 4:00 pm and ending on Thursday, January 25th, 2024 at 3:59 pm.

WVCEH has created a Volunteer Sign-Up form to help us during the count. If you are interested in volunteering in your county, this form can be found at our volunteer portal

Prior to the night of the count, volunteers are also asked to complete the Volunteer Release Form. This electronic form can be found below as well as the volunteer training.
