All NC Balance of State, Durham, and Orange CoC Agency Admins must attend or review the 2022 HMIS Point in Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC) Training before PIT night. If you are not an Agency Administrator, you are still encouraged to view the optional training!

These Materials are been posted to both the Training& Knowledge page and Data Center News Archive if you were not able to attend live. Stay tuned for How to Run guidance - we're working on some updates to make it easier on you.

HUD requires an annual census of people experiencing homelessness in our CoCs and the corresponding resources that are dedicated to assist people. The 'people' count is called the Point in Time while the 'resources' count is called the Housing Inventory Count. This takes place on the last Wednesday of January (the 26th).

There are three data streams to count both people and resources resources:

PIT and HIC reports are sent to Congress, posted publicly, and essential for future community funding, educating stakeholders, and informing governance.

For HMIS Participating ES, TH, RRH, and PSH, this means your data for Jan 26th must be complete and entered that night. Please plan to allow for fast data entry on clients you're serving that specific night.

*If you have questions about the Unsheltered or non-HMIS PIT Counts, please contact your CoC Lead or check NCCEH's Conducting the Point in Time Count webpage.

Plan ahead - run the CoC-APR or ESG-CAPER for your projects now to make sure that age, gender, race, ethnicity, veteran status, relationship to head of household, disabling conditions, homeless history, and DV history should be complete.

We will need your help to review and submit reports in the week after January 26th and will send more specific procedures in January. Steel yourself for a data flurry!
