We are sharing a friendly reminder with our unhoused community that the Point-in-Time (PIT) count will take place on Thursday, January 29.

Starting at 7:00 AM, local volunteers will be entering encampment sites where unhoused individuals and families are known to reside. The volunteers will conduct a demographic survey. Participation in the survey is voluntary. An accurate Point-in-Time (PIT) count provides crucial data for understanding, and addressing homelessness, helping communities provide services, track progress, raise public awareness, and secure funding to better assist our community.

We still need volunteers to conduct the surveys. For more information on this volunteering, click here: https://www.housingfirstsolano.org/hic-pit-count-2/

The 2026 Solano County Point In Time (PIT) is scheduled to take place on January 29, 2026. The PIT Count is part of the nationwide initiative to provide a snapshot of the number and demographics of those experiencing homelessness, based on the definition provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is a requirement by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be conducted every other year.

This count provides data that is used to determine funding from the State and Federal Government to help provide better programs and services to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

The City of Vallejo and Solano County are looking for volunteers to help conduct the 2026 PIT Count.

Date: January 29, 2026

Time: 7:00AM* – 12:00PM

Whether you’ve volunteered in past counts or will be joining us for the first time, all volunteers must register through the online portal.
