Fulton County Continuum of Care (CoC) has released the 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count Report.

The Fulton County PIT Homeless Count identifies vulnerable groups by conducting surveys that collect vital information such as demographic characteristics, homeless experiences, and history. From January 23 to 24, 2024, volunteers and service providers traveled throughout Fulton County conducting the surveys, providing out outreach, and gathering information to determine which services are needed to alleviate barriers to housing.

The vital information received from the Point-In-Time Count will help guide local policies and initiatives to provide support, encourage community involvement, and find effective solutions. The PIT count is only one portion of the larger housing data picture. The CoC is focusing on real time data which allows a full comprehensive look into actual inflow and outflow, as well as exits to housing and retention in housing.

Ongoing outreach efforts will be geared towards continuing to track ways in which Fulton County can implement strategic responses and address the needs of unsheltered and homeless populations.
