The Point in Time (PIT) Count is a once-a-year count of individuals and families in shelters and places not meant for human habitation, usually happening during the last 10 days in January. This year, the count happened on January 24th in 65 out of 91 counties of the Indiana Balance of State (Marion County completes their own count).

Here are a few insights from the 2024 PIT Count:
- Approximately 1 in 4 people counted in the PIT count were under the age of 24. IHCDA was awarded $1.5 million in June of 2024 for the Youth Homelessness Systems Improvement(YHSI) Grant. These resources will be instrumental in addressing youth homelessness moving forward.
- In Indiana people aged 35-54 were overrepresented in the 2024 PIT count compared to recent national PIT and census data. People ages 65 and older were underrepresented.

- People under the age of 18 are mostly found in Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing
- People between 35-54 make up the majority of our unsheltered population.
You can find additional data, and many other resources, at the HMIS Data Portal.
