POINT-IN-TIME COUNT

PIT COUNT
Once every year, the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness (CFCH) organizes a count of every person experiencing homelessness on a single night.
This count is known as the Point-In-Time (PIT) Count. The PIT is used to allocate federal resources, understand local homelessness trends, and inform policy change.

Shelter capacities were reduced to help stop the spread of Covid-19 (2020 - 2021)
Covid relief funding has made resources and non-congregate shelter more available to the homeless population (2022)
