Thousands of volunteers are needed to gather accurate data which in turn informs critical resources in terms of funding, programming, and overall strategy to prevent and reduce instances of homelessness. San Luis Obispo County organizes its PIT Count every two years as part of a nationwide effort to count and survey people experiencing homelessness over a single night. The PIT Count allows cities, counties, and states to better understand how many people are experiencing homelessness, who is most affected by homelessness, and what kind of assistance they are receiving.
