The Office of Homeless Services is looking for volunteers to survey and count people in Philadelphia who are experiencing homelessness and living outdoors on a single night during the City’s 2025 Point In Time (PIT) Count on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
Why PIT Count and Your Help Are Important
- The U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires this annual count on a single night in January.
- The survey answers that your team collects will help the City of Philadelphia and HUD learn:
- Who is experiencing unsheltered homelessness, how, and why.
- Where people are staying and for how long.
- What types of services people want and need.
- Whether the strategies we are using and our efforts to end homelessness are working.
