2024 PIT Count Questionnaire

With the anticipated release of HUD’s 2024 Annual Homelessness Report to Congress in the coming weeks, the Alliance is reaching out to communities like yours, whose local data releases indicate decreases in the number of people experiencing homelessness (overall, or in some key populations). We anticipate that these local decreases will buck the national trend of increases across most populations except Veterans.

The following questionnaire is intended to provide you with an opportunity to share what you believe is driving reductions in your community. This will ultimately inform the Alliance’s communications around this year’s AHAR.

Title(Required)

CoC(Required)

Where did your community see the greatest reductions?

(i.e., total homelessness; unsheltered homelessness; chronic homelessness, homelessness among families, youth, veterans, etc.)

How have your efforts been significantly bolstered or hampered by the rental vacancy rates in your community?

Are there are innovations specific to your community, regarding service delivery, such as services, subsidies, or access to vacant housing units?

(e.g., street outreach, shelter operations, housing navigation, etc.), subsidies (e.g., local funding for rental assistance), or access to vacant housing units (e.g., landlord partnership, etc.)

To what do you attribute your reductions?

Has your community benefitted from leveraging funds outside of the traditional federal funding sources?

This could include anything from state and local funds, Medicaid, TANF, philanthropic funds, etc.

Is there anything innovative or different happening with your community’s housing or shelter bed inventory?

Are there any new or interesting partnerships that are contributing to your reductions?

This could include anything from an improved partnership with the Public Housing Authority, law enforcement, landlords, the business community, or partnerships any feeder systems (such as healthcare, corrections, foster care, the VA, etc.).

Is your CoC’s work being impacted by inflow of migrants/new arrivals?

Do you feel that there is alignment between CoC leaders, providers, and local elected officials (specifically, mayors and city/county councilmembers) in your community?

Do you consider your community to be operating consistently with Housing First principles (i.e., rapidly connecting people to permanent housing and then connecting them with the voluntary supportive services they want and need)? If not, where do you see it differing?
