Point-in-Time Survey Tools

Description

To collect Point-in Time (PIT) count data according to HUD standards, CoCs need to use high quality survey instruments. HUD is providing CoCs with a set of model surveys that they can use for the 2023 PIT count. These surveys reflect the review of best local practices and the input of leading survey and homeless methodology experts. This list of model surveys, guides, and tools can be used by CoCs in the 2023 PIT count.
