Point-in-Time (PIT) Count
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is an annual effort in Clark County to measure the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. This includes individuals staying in shelters as well as those living in places not meant for habitation. The count is part of a nationwide initiative to better understand homelessness and includes a short survey to gather information about the needs and circumstances of those affected. The Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (CoC) coordinates the PIT Count locally, working in partnership with community organizations and volunteers across the region.
