January 9, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year Philadelphia, with the support of hundreds of volunteers, conducts a Point-in-Time Count of all persons experiencing homelessness on the streets, in a shelter, and in other temporary housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the count is to estimate the size of the populations in need of housing and supportive services. The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is planned and executed by the Office of Homeless Services, DBHIDS, Project HOME, Valley Youth House, and the Veterans Administration Medical Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of the count are reported to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and are vital to supporting Philadelphia\u2019s efforts to eradicate homelessness from our City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for the 2018 count, which will begin at 10:30 p.m. on the night of Jan. 24 and conclude at 7 p.m. on Jan. 25, we are recruiting volunteers to canvass the City to count and survey all homeless individuals. Volunteers that have never participated in a PIT Count must be available to attend a one-hour training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are available to volunteer or want additional information about the different types of opportunities please visit the 2018 Point-in-Time Count registration page<\/a>. For the 2018 PIT Count, there are positions available to earn a stipend for six hours of PIT related work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These paid positions are reserved for individuals who have experienced any of the following: homelessness; substance abuse disorder; a mental health diagnosis; military duty; dual diagnosis; housing insecurity. Positions will be filled on a lottery system and selected individuals will be notified by email. If you run a program and have participants interested in volunteering, please submit their information for consideration at the 2018 Point-in-Time Count registration page<\/a>. Look for the Peer Team Member Application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
