Point in Time and Housing Inventory Count
Jan
22
to Jan 23

Point in Time and Housing Inventory Count

Missouri will conduct the Point in Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC) on the night of January 22, 2025 (Wednesday night into Thursday). These federal reports are designed to assess the total number of clients experiencing homelessness on a single night and the total number of beds available to serve those clients.

The PIT consists of a Sheltered and Unsheltered count. The Sheltered PIT focuses on clients staying in Emergency Shelter, Safe Havens, and Transitional Housing. The Unsheltered PIT focuses on clients staying on the streets, in their car, or in any place not meant for habitation.

The HIC looks at beds available in temporary residential settings (Emergency Shelter, Safe Haven, and Transitional Housing) and permanent housing settings (Rapid ReHousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Other Permanent Housing).

Both the PIT and HIC collect data from agencies that participate in HMIS as well as those that do not participate in HMIS.

ICA will facilitate the Sheltered PIT and HIC. Your CoCs will facilitate the Unsheltered PIT.

For more information on PIT and HIC, see here on the HUD Exchange.

PIT HIC Training Webinar

We will provide an overview of the PIT and HIC, an overview of what data is collected, how to find the detailed information on the data collection tools (which include embedded training videos), and an opportunity to answer your questions. We encourage you to read through the linked tipsheets and watch the embedded training videos for your data collection tools in advance of the webinar.

Click here to register for the webinar

How do we prepare for the Sheltered PIT and HIC Count?

You can prepare now by familiarizing yourself with what data needs to be collected, and then setting aside time on PIT night and afterwards to review data quality and completeness.

All projects are required to submit two pieces of data.

The first part is the Persons Served, or information on persons served on the night of the  PIT. This includes full demographic information for projects on the PIT (ES/SH/TH) and household type information for projects only on the HIC (RRH/PSH/OPH).

The second part is the Project Information and Bed Inventory for all projects. This includes information on your project, organization, location, funding, and beds available.

What am I being asked to do now?

HMIS-participating projects

  • Run the ES/SH/TH Persons Served Report or the RRH/PSH/OPH Persons Served Report, depending on your project type. By running it now, you will be able to check the data quality of those clients currently enrolled in your project, ensure all clients are properly enrolled in HMIS, and will simplify the data quality process following PIT night. This does not need to be submitted to ICA.

  • Register to attend a live training webinar to go over the process and have your questions answered. See below for details.

  • Ensure your project is prepared to collect all necessary information before the night of the PIT and HIC and prepare to work with your System Administrator following PIT night on reviewing your Persons Served and Project Information and Bed Inventory data.

Non-HMIS-participating projects

  • Register to attend a live training webinar to go over the process and have your questions answered. See below for details.

  • Ensure your project is prepared to collect all necessary information before the night of the PIT and HIC.

  • After the night of PIT and HIC, collect and submit your Persons Served data to ICA.

    • All data is due back to ICA by end of day Wednesday, February 5th.

  • Prepare to work with your System Administrator following PIT night on Project Information and Bed Inventory data.

Extended FY2023 PIT and HIC HDX 2.0 Submission Deadline

Extended FY2023 PIT and HIC HDX 2.0 Submission Deadline

As of May 2nd, HUD extended the deadline for PIT and HIC submission until May 10th.

HDX 2.0 is set to close today for submitting the federal Point in Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC). ICA works with the CoC to submit these reports through HDX 2.0.

———

HUD has announced that the submission period for the PIT and HIC federal report begins on March 18 and will close on April 30, 2024.

The PIT and HIC is an annual event that allows our communities to take stock of all persons experiencing homelessness on a single night as well as the residential space available for members of the community who are experiencing homelessness. In 2024, the PIT and HIC were conducted on the night of Wednesday, January 24, 2024.

PIT data consists of counts and demographic information on persons experiencing homelessness. HIC data consists of project information, including location, funding sources, and bed inventory, as well as an overall count of persons served on the night of the count.

As HMIS Lead, ICA oversees the Sheltered Point in Time and the Housing Inventory Count. This entails working with agencies who participate in HMIS and those who do not to ensure the submitted data is complete and accurate, and all data quality issues are addressed. ICA Reporting Team aggregates the data across all HMIS and non-HMIS projects and prepares preliminary reports for CoC approval before final submission.

CoCs coordinate the Unsheltered PIT, with ICA providing the data portal and aggregation.
