2021 Point-in-Time (PiT) Count
Each year, the City of Kamloops, in association with many non-profit organizations, businesses, and individuals, participates in the Coordinated Point-in-Time (PiT) Count, supported by the Government of Canada's Reaching Home Strategy.
The 2021 Point-in-Time Count will take place on April 15 and 16, with COVID-19 precautions and regulations in place.
The PiT Count serves two functions: to count the number of people experiencing homelessness in Kamloops over a specified period; and to gather information on the demographics and service needs of the local homeless population.
The count is conducted over a 24-hour period beginning in the evening of Day 1 with a survey of those staying in emergency shelters, followed by a street count during the day on Day 2.
The Point-in-Time Count helps us to better understand homelessness in our city. With successive counts, we can measure our progress in ending homelessness in our community.
If you are interetested in volunteering your time for the Unsheltered PiT count on April 16, please complete the form below.
