Measuring homelessness in Flagstaff: Point in Time study determines where people sought shelter on one January night

Race, ethnicity, and gender descriptors have been expanded, and new goals have been set.

Before sending volunteers out for this year’s PIT count, HUD identified a few priorities. First, measuring the number of unaccompanied youth or young people, younger than 24, without shelter. The survey always gathers demographic data, but in 2023 the survey was aimed in part at establishing a greater understanding of how many veterans, victims of domestic violence and chronically homeless individuals are sleeping outside on a single night across the country.
