Evansville to Conduct Annual Point-in-Time Count of Homelessness on January 25-26 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – On January 25-26, 2023 Evansville will conduct its annual Point-in-Time (PIT) count of people experiencing homelessness in the community, including sheltered and unsheltered homeless men, women, children, and families. Mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the count provides a snapshot of the number and characteristics of people experiencing homelessness in Evansville. The Aurora Homeless Outreach Team conducts the count with support from area homeless shelters and agencies, in conjunction with the Region 12 Homeless Services Council and Commission on Homelessness for Evansville and Vanderburgh County. 

WHO – Aurora Homeless Outreach Team and other agencies, including United Caring Services, Ozanam Family Shelter, House of Bread and Peace, Evansville Rescue Mission, YWCA Evansville, Salvation Army and others. 

WHEN – The count begins Wednesday, January 25, 2023, at 7:30 p.m., and concludes the morning of Thursday, January 26, 2023 

WHERE 

• Shelters: Evansville initiates a white flag, so any and all can come to the shelter for the day (it makes counting the majority easier). The shelter staff completes the survey forms for each person and enters the info into HMIS (Indiana’s homeless data tracking system). Shelters not on the HMIS system receive paper forms to complete and send to Indianapolis for entry into HMIS.
