One of the most important events in Housing Services is the Point in Time (“PIT”) Count, which represents a count of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night. 

The County based Homeless Continuum of Care of Placer and Nevada County (COC-515 and COC-531) organizes the annual PIT Count effort in accordance with HUD guidelines.  For more information on these COCs and how to get involved please visit Homeless Support Organization in Placer County and Nevada County, CA (hrcscoc.org)

The PIT Count is a community wide effort that provides an opportunity for residents and local businesses to actively contribute and learn about people who are experiencing homelessness and gain an understanding of the resources available to address homelessness in North Tahoe Truckee. The count is vital in determining the scope of homelessness, defining existing resources available and identifying gaps to better serve these individuals.
