PIT/HIC Update- Point-In-Time Count & Housing Inventory Count

Hello everyone,

With Point-In-Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC) submission deadline having passed on February 11, 2026, we want to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this year’s efforts. Whether you assisted with the unsheltered count, submitted unsheltered surveys, completed data cleaning for sheltered projects, or entered project-level submissions in the portal, your time and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Over the next few weeks, we will be reviewing all submissions and data. If any questions come up, we will reach out to the appropriate agencies/contacts for clarification.

Thank you again for taking the time to contribute to the 2026 PIT Count, your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

If you have any questions, please reach out to support@icalliances.org

Best regards,
The Iowa HMIS Team
