The Southern Nevada Continuum of Care invites community members to participate in the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, a community-wide effort to identify and survey individuals and families experiencing homelessness throughout Southern Nevada.

The information collected during the PIT Count plays an important role in understanding homelessness in our region, identifying community needs, informing funding decisions, and strengthening the services and resources available to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Your time and participation can help ensure that no one goes unseen.
