Together We Can End Homelessness

Point in Time & Housing Inventory Count

The Point in Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Counts (HIC) are federally required, yearly efforts to take a snapshot of the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night and the number of dedicated resources available to people experiencing homelessness in our community. They are conducted in the last two weeks of January.

The data collected through the PIT and HIC are reported to the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and inform the Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) provided to Congress. It is important that our community conduct as comprehensive a count as possible to show the need in our region.

This year’s Point in Time Count took place on January 28th and was submitted to HUD on June 13th, after a slight delay due to new federal guidelines.

For a deeper understanding of homelessness in our community—including trends, challenges, and opportunities—we recommend checking out the Colorado State of Homelessness Report at www.cohmis.org.

2024 Northern Colorado State of Homelessness Report

Having only officially formed as a CoC in January of 2020, this is the first time the NoCO CoC has released a comprehensive State of Homelessness Report. This report is based on homelessness data and information for the year 2023. The intention of the report is to provide CoC partners and the community at large with a depth of information related to the state of homelessness in Northern Colorado, data analysis and system performance information, current efforts to address homelessness, gaps, and challenges and future directions.
