Reminder: Point-in-Time (PIT) Count Training Scheduled for January 21

Reminder: Point-in-Time (PIT) Count Training

The community is reminded of the upcoming Point-in-Time (PIT) Count training, scheduled for Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 12:00 noon. The training will be held in the first-floor conference room at the Micro Business Technology Building, located at 230 S. Jackson Street, Albany, Georgia.

This training is intended for organizations, agencies, and community members interested in participating in the annual PIT Count, a critical effort to collect data on individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Participants will receive an overview of PIT Count objectives, roles, and data collection protocols to ensure accurate and consistent reporting.

Organizations are encouraged to share this invitation with partners, volunteers, or community groups that may wish to participate. For those unable to attend the January 21 training, an alternative session will be held on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 12:00 noon, during the regularly scheduled monthly Coalition meeting. Attendance at both sessions is not required.

Individuals with questions or who need additional information are encouraged to respond directly to the training invitation.

Why the PIT Count Matters

The Point-in-Time Count is a federally required data collection effort used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to inform funding decisions, measure trends in homelessness, and guide local and regional housing strategies (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD], 2023). Accurate participation at the local level directly impacts resources available to address housing instability and supportive service needs.
