2024 Unsheltered Point in Time (PIT) Count Volunteer Sign-up Sheet (Region 7 Bismarck)

The Point-in-Time Count is right around the corner! This year’s PIT Count is scheduled for the night of Wednesday, January 24, 2024.

The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a collaborative effort led by Missouri Valley Coalition for Homeless People to conduct a regional census of people experiencing homelessness. This count is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. Federally, the CoC program provides funding for homeless housing and service programs in our region (Region VII) and PIT Count data helps inform trends and needs to receive this and other homeless funding. The PIT Count is a short survey to collect basic demographics and data on persons who are unsheltered on a single night in January and is very important to help our community secure grant funding and resources to assist individuals experiencing homelessness.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

Volunteers are needed to assist with the count of unsheltered individuals in the community. Please sign up for a shift that works best for you and additional information will be sent to volunteers with details. You may sign up for more than one shift. Volunteers will meet at Ministry on the Margins (201 N 24th St) in Bismarck 15 minutes prior to the start of their shift. Volunteers will be divided into teams and assigned particular areas of the community to conduct the count of unsheltered individuals. For additional information please reach out to Renae Moch at rmoch@bismarcknd.gov.

Thank you for your help with this important community project!
