Every year HHA conducts a point in time count to measure the number of unhoused people in our community. This tool is especially critical for estimating the number of unsheltered individuals who have not accessed services and consequently do not show up in evaluations of clients served. The Point-In-Time (PIT) count helps us assess the need in our community so that we may better allocate housing resources in order to end homelessness. An accurate count is the first step to investing in solutions to eliminate homelessness in Okaloosa and Walton Counties.
