The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners has identified Six Strategic Priorities that are to be addressed, one of which is Housing & Homelessness. The Homeless Point-in-Time Count is a one-day census of people experiencing homelessness conducted by local governments and charitable organizations across the nation. The Homeless Point-in-Time Count solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you conduct point-in-time counts, visualize the extent of homelessness, and share homelessness reports with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) quickly and efficiently. This application has increased the effectiveness of conducting the annual unsheltered Homeless Point-In-Time Count and provides County administrative staff insights into the current state of the unsheltered Homeless in Palm Beach County. Palm Beach County conducted the Point-in-Time Count using this application initially from noon February 24 – noon on February 25, 2022. This year we again used the application to do our Homeless Point-in–Time Count from noon on January 26, through noon on January 27, 2023.
