Point in time History • Since 2003, HUD has required all Continuums of Care (CoC) to collect local data
on unsheltered homeless persons.
• Beginning in 2007, HUD standardized this data into the Point in Time (PIT).
• VT: In 2006, the data collection form was created with input from the CoC. The data is entered in Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
• Then a small group of CoC members trained agencies, organizations, and volunteers on the definitions, collection process, and the use of the data collected

Why we do the Point in Time Count:
• Ensure that all Vermonters, particularly low and moderate income persons, people with disabilities, homeless people, elders, families with children and others, have safe, adequate, physically accessible and affordable housing.
• Promote the recognition of housing and services as a basic right for all Vermonters through education of the public and elected officials.
