The work for a Point-in-Time (PiT) count does not end after the count is conducted. This collection of resources provides guidance and tools to support the Post-Count phase of a PiT count. It covers data entry, management, and analysis, as wells as post-count communication and planning for subsequent counts. This is Part 4 in a four-part series:

1. PIT Count Planning 

2. PIT Count Preparation 

3. PIT Count Implementation 

4. PIT Count Post Count

5. Point-in-Time Count – Archive

A Point-in-Time Count is a one-day snapshot of homelessness in each community that contributes to a national picture and advance the knowledge on homelessness. It provides a community-wide measure of homelessness, identifying service needs and informing plans to prevent and reduce homelessness. When completed over subsequent years, it can also be used to track changes in the homeless population over time and measure progress in reducing it.
