What is the Point-In-Time Count? The Point-In-Time Count is an annual count of homeless persons to:

  • Find homeless persons living on the streets and gather information in order to connect them with available services.
  • Help policymakers and program administrators set benchmarks to measure progress toward the goal of ending homelessness.
  • Help plan services and programs to appropriately address local needs, identify strengths and gaps in our community’s current homelessness assistance system.
  • Inform public opinion, increase public awareness, and attract resources.
  • Create the most reliable estimate of people experiencing homelessness throughout Utah.
  • And most importantly, to make a difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness!

We need a large number of volunteers to accomplish this Point-in-Time Count. We encourage you to form teams of 3 to 4 people with your friends, family, and coworkers and sign up together! Click the button above to register now!
