Point-In-Time Homeless Count
The nationwide Point In Time (PIT) Homeless Count typically takes place annually on the last Wednesday in January. This effort offers a snapshot of homelessness by recording the number of people in an emergency shelter or who are unsheltered on a single night of the year.
The surveys are completed with those who are living outside, with more than one family in a household, in a vehicle, in shelters, or motels. YCAP additionally counts those couch surfing, and living with family or friends in a temporary status. This information is used to plan local and national service delivery to at-risk populations.
YCAP leads the count in Yamhill County, collecting information anonymously while connecting individuals with services they may need. Surveys are conducted in several ways, including by phone calls through 211, county-wide drop-in sites, and county-wide street outreach.
Data is provided by household type (individuals, families, and child-only households), and is further broken down by sub-population categories, such as homeless veterans and the chronically homeless.
Additionally, in 2017, 2018, and 2019 Count a Youth Survey was also conducted with unaccompanied youth encountered during the PIT that provides more in-depth information on that particular sub-population. Due to the COVID pandemic, a full PIT count was not conducted in January 2021 or January 2022.
