Story Behind the Curve
Counting the homeless is a uniquely difficult challenge. Nevertheless these counts indicate that homelessness remains a persistently serious issue for Franklin County.
Why Is This Important?
The Vermont Statewide Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is an unduplicated count of persons experiencing homelessness in both unsheltered and sheltered (in a homeless program) places on a single night. The PIT Count allows local communities and state policy makers to understand current problems of homelessness, target limited funding to appropriate housing and services, and track progress.
