The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority and partner agencies across the state are seeking volunteers to conduct a one-night count of the homeless population. Volunteers are needed in every county on January 25th to help conduct the count and must register no later than January 20th. The Annual Point In Time (PIT) Count is a census of all unsheltered and sheltered persons experiencing homelessness.
“Collaboration at the state, regional, and local levels are important in the fight to end homelessness here in Indiana,” said Jacob Sipe, executive director of Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA). “We are proud to collaborate with many great partners who share IHCDA’s mission of providing housing opportunities, promoting self-sufficiency, and strengthening communities.” Those interested in volunteering can register here. Upon registering, IHCDA’s Homeless Management Information Systems team will connect those individuals, groups, or organizations interested in participating with their local PIT Coordinator(s).
There will be a volunteer webinar on January 11, 2023, at 1 p.m. EST. Registration links will be provided by local PIT Coordinator(s). Those interested in volunteering, but unable to attend the PIT volunteer webinar, will have the information made available through their regional PIT Coordinators, prior to participating in the count. Volunteers must register no later than January 20, 2023.
