PIT Planning Team

The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a biannual count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness completed as a mandate from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The PIT Count measures the prevalence of homelessness in Alameda County and collects information on individuals and families in emergency shelters and transitional housing, as well as people sleeping on the streets, in cars, on abandoned properties, or on other places not meant for human habitation.

The PIT Planning Team is not currently active. The next PIT Planning Team will be assembled in late 2025 to prepare for the 2026 count. More information about opportunities to participate in the next PIT Planning Team will be added as available.

For information about the results of recent or past PIT Counts, please check the Continuum of Care Point-in-Time Count Page.

Establish the strategy, methodology, and implementation plan for the annual PIT count, in collaboration with the CoC, the County, and the consultants hired to support the PIT count.

The PIT Planning Team is not a Continuum of Care committee and does not have a roster of seated voting members. PIT Planning Team is an ad-hoc group composed of volunteers from the Alameda County community and coordinated by the PIT project management contractor. Meetings are open to the public and decisions are made by the majority vote of all those present during the meeting. Participants in the PIT Planning Team typically include City representatives, County representatives, Persons with Lived Experience, Homeless Services Providers, and other members of the public. The names of attendees can be reviewed in the posted meeting minutes.
