Everyone deserves to be counted
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a counting of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January.
Starting Wednesday evening (Jan 29) through February 4th, organizations and street outreach teams across the Triad will be connecting with individuals experiencing homelessness to help them get counted and provide them with a resource bag.
BTW: Winston-Salem saw a 58% increase in the number of people living on the streets in 2024.
*Volunteer opportunities in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Lexington

The Guilford County Point-In-Time Count begins this evening (Jan 29).
