The 2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count will take place on the night of Wednesday, January 22, 2025 and during the day on Thursday, January 23, 2025. The PIT Count is when our community comes together to survey each person experiencing sheltered or unsheltered homelessness on one night. It is also when we capture temporary and permanent housing capacity and inventory across the housing continuum. The Point-in-Time Count and Housing Inventory Count are required activities for the Continuum of Care (CoC) to receive federal homelessness funding assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).
The 2025 data will include anyone experiencing homelessness, and the capacity to temporarily and permanently house this population, as HUD defines it on the night of January 23, 2025. The unsheltered homelessness census involves engagement with individuals who are not already receiving services, and therefore, typically requires significant in-person contact.
For the 2025 PIT Count, Charlotte-Mecklenburg will lean on volunteers to canvas all of Mecklenburg County and complete the unsheltered portion of the PIT. Stay tuned for how you can make the planning team aware of locations where you know people experiencing unsheltered homelessness may be sleeping. We will need over 200 volunteers to conduct surveys throughout the day on Thursday, January 23, 2025 so we will need your participation! Please sign up here.
