SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY ADMINISTRATION

In light of the recent surge of COVID-19 cases, the federal government has authorized the county to postpone the annual Point-In-Time Count (PITC) of unsheltered homeless individuals until Feb.24.“The health and safety of our community, those experiencing homelessness, and PITC volunteers, is of utmost importance to San Bernardino County,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman.

San Bernardino County was one of many homeless Continuums of Care throughout California seeking approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to briefly postpone this year’s count, which had been scheduled for Jan. 27.

The county typically collects data from people experiencing homelessness in unsheltered and sheltered locations during the annual PITC within the last 10 days of January as mandated by HUD. The count and survey is critical to secure government and private grant funding as well as other resources for local communities to assist individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

While ensuring the safety of volunteers and participants had been at the forefront of planning efforts well before the omicron surge, the county will implement heightened safety measures when the count takes place in February based on recommendations from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
