Homeless Point-in-time Survey Results

Pennsylvania has 17 homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) networks – 4 regional and 13 county/city based continuums.  HUD requires all CoCs to conduct an annual point-in-time count of the homeless.  This count takes place on a night during the last week of January.

Below are the 2008 – 2010 results from PA’s four regional CoCs counts.  Among other findings, this data provides the number of homeless individuals with mental illness counted each year.
