2025 Pinellas County Point in Time Count
Each year, each Continuum of Care (CoC) is required to report the number of homeless persons within its community to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The count takes place in the last week of January and includes both sheltered and unsheltered persons. Sheltered persons are those residing in Emergency Shelters (ES), Transitional Housing (TH) or Safe Havens (SH). Unsheltered persons (UN) are those residing in places not meant for human habitation. The two primary sources for these data each year are the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and a street survey of homeless persons (the Point in Time Count and Survey, or PIT).
