2025 Point in Time Count shows shifting trends in homelessness

The latest data from the 2025 Point in Time (PIT) Count offers a critical snapshot and trending data that helps shape the story of what homelessness looks like in our local communities.

The PIT Count is a federally mandated initiative by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), requiring counties nationwide to manually count individuals experiencing homelessness on a single day. While the count is never exact—especially in rural areas like Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties—it remains a vital tool for guiding housing development, shelter funding, outreach efforts, and long-term planning.
