Point in Time Count Registration Now Available

Overview

Every year in late January, every community in Louisiana conducts the Point in Time (PIT) Count: a sheltered and unsheltered count of every person experiencing homelessness. In the Louisiana Balance of State Continuum of Care (LA BOSCOC), unsheltered counts are held in the cities of Baton Rouge, Houma, and Lake Charles.

Participating in the PIT Count is the most important thing you can do to help end homelessness in your community. Having an accurate count of the people experiencing homelessness is an essential part of how we:

  • Connect every person experiencing homelessness with shelter, housing, and services;

  • Educate to our lawmakers about homelessness, including the solutions we need to help everyone achieve permanent housing;

  • Advocate at the local, state, and national levels for the funding we need to serve the most vulnerable members of our communities.

This year, the PIT Count will be held on the evening of January 27.

You do not need any experience working in homeless services to volunteer.

With your help, we can end homelessness in our time.
