Volunteers needed for annual point-in-time count

San Bernardino County’s annual Point-In-Time Count (PITC) of unsheltered homeless individuals will be conducted on Jan. 27. The County is searching for volunteers to canvass the county’s cities, towns and unincorporated communities to count, survey and assist the county’s homeless population.

The PITC is critical to secure government and private grant funding, as well as other resources for local communities to assist individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

The annual PITC, is coordinated by the Community Revitalization Office of Homeless Services (OHS) in conjunction with the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership and is designed to provide invaluable data on homeless individuals and families within the county on a given day and time.

Volunteer teams will need to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 safety guidelines and Personal Protective Equipment will be provided.

This year’s count will be conducted with a web-based application and volunteers will need to have an Apple or Android smartphone to conduct the survey.
