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!
