HUD has been striving over time to shift the emphasis on the annual Housing Inventory Count (HIC) and Point-in-Time (PIT) count from ramping up what data are collected to focusing on how data are collected. HUD wants communities to focus on collecting the best data possible. To help with this effort, HUD is implementing a regular PIT Count Office Hours that will be focused on addressing PIT count methodology questions. The office hours will have at least one focused discussion on a known PIT count methodology issue, and then will be open for further discussion based on questions that communities have with implementing their PIT counts.

The first office hours session will be on Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 3:00 PM EDT . Register for the PIT Count Office H...
