Point in Time Count

Homelessness in Richmond from Jaclyn O'Laughlin on Vimeo.

Communities using funds from the Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) are required to conduct periodic counts of people experiencing homelessness. This data is compiled locally and nationally to inform programs and planning.

Homeward has coordinated Richmond's Point-In-Time (PIT) count since 1999, and substantially expanded and refined the process over the years. Since 2007, Homeward has conducted both a summer count and a winter count in an effort to understand the changing nature of homelessness over time. In November 2007, Homeward used data gathered in January 2007 to produce our first State of Homelessness report.

Volunteer Opportunity
Thank you to all of the volunteers who participated in the Winter Point in Time Count on January 21, 2010!
The next point in time count will be held on July 29, 2010.

Donation Opportunity
At the event, we will offer those experiencing homelessness care packages which contain lotion, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, deodorant, hand sanitizer, combs, brushes, socks, scarves and hats. We are asking for donations that can be used to fill packages for the 350-400 attendees we are expecting. Last summer we saw this number, so we recognize how many are truly in need.
