January PIT
October 30, 2025
The nationwide point-in-time (PIT) count is a one-night census of people experiencing homelessness in the United States. It is conducted in January, but many states, like Wisconsin, also do a summer (July) count. A PIT is intended to capture a minimum amount of information on the homeless population in order to create a "snapshot" of what homelessness looks like in a neighborhood, city or state. The data collected through the Point-in-Time process is reported in the Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) that is provided to the US Congress. Homeless information is also reported to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is utilized to develop the Housing Inventory Chart for the Balance of State Continuum of Care.
The volunteer sign-up forms for Fond du Lac County, Ripon area and Green Lake County, and Winnebago County have been posted this week. All are encouraged to experience a PIT and sign up today. In July 2025, four members from the CSA community drove together around the city to document counts in their designated areas. We’d love to have others join us in January.
Sign up for any of these locations:
