PIT Trainings

Wednesday, January 7th

Registration Available

Dear Colleagues:

The Annual PIT count date is fast approaching. Information on the upcoming PIT trainings and links to register for them are in the message below from our partners at Nutmeg.

The HIC and PIT counts are our annual counts, required by HUD, of

• all beds and units (HIC) dedicated to serve people experiencing homelessness
• Includes emergency shelters, transitional housing, safe havens, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing and other permanent housing (e.g. emergency housing vouchers)
• the people experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness (PIT) at a single point in time within the CoC.
• Sheltered homelessness consists of people staying in emergency shelters, transitional housing or safe havens
• Unsheltered homelessness involves people sleeping in places not meant for human habitation that Street Outreach Programs and Youth Navigator Programs would encounter

The PIT count will take place on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. The blue underlined text are hyperlinks to register for the trainings. Please make every effort to have the staff responsible for the counts attend the training(s).
