Counting Us

The Counting Us app is a powerful tool designed to assist communities during the annual Point in Time (PIT) homeless census. By replacing traditional paper forms with a streamlined mobile application, volunteers can register and quickly complete surveys each time they interact with a person or family experiencing homelessness.

Key features include built-in surveys aligned with federal reporting requirements, GPS tagging of each survey location, offline data collection with later submission, and compatibility across various phones and tablets. Additionally, direct integration with the Point in Time Regional Command Center offers administrators continuous oversight of the census efforts, ensuring accuracy and full coverage. This app plays a vital role in helping HUD and local regions accurately measure homelessness and progress towards safe housing for all.
