Point In Time Count A New Approach to Unsheltered To start the path to housing, we need to 

know who is homeless, not just interesting demographics and aggregated data

2015 was an experiment – No More Anonymous surveying.

The PIT count would no longer be about data collection, it would be about information gathering

New Best Practices in PIT Count of Unsheltered Homeless We asked them for their name – no one is 

invisible We asked for their phone numbers and 

emails  We asked where they could be found We asked them if we could take their photo
