**Due to inclement weather, Point in Time Count has been postpone to Thursday, January 26th**

What is the Point-In-Time Count, and why is it important to our community?
The annual Point-In-Time count is critical to San Antonio’s efforts to fight homelessness in our community. Federal funding for homeless programs is based largely on this once-a-year count of the city’s homeless population, so the more homeless who are counted, the more Federal dollars will come our way to help homeless individuals and families get out of their desperate situations and make their way back to happy and productive lives.

To ensure that we have a full and accurate count, WE NEED A LARGE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS! Bring a friend or two to help with the count! All we ask is a few hours of your time. You and two partners will be provided a map of a specific area of town, and you will either walk (if it’s a downtown location) or drive through that area of town, count the homeless persons and survey those who are willing to take the survey, and then return your information to the PIT headquarters location.

The counts will be combined and submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which disburses Federal funding for homeless programs.

The Point-In-Time count is organized and coordinated by the City of San Antonio and the South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless (SARAH).
