2019 Point-in-Time Count and Housing Inventory Chart

FOR AGENCIES THAT DO NOT USE HMIS

Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housing Projects that are NOT using the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) should follow the steps below to capture information required for the 2019 Point-in-Time Count and Housing Inventory Chart. 

Point-in-Time Count

Background:

A google survey form should be completed for each household that sleeps in your emergency shelter or transitional housing project on the night of Wednesday, January 30, 2019. 

There are two options for collecting information from clients. 

Option 1: Use Paper Survey Forms

Action Step 1: Download and print paper survey forms found here. 

Action Step 2: Use the paper survey forms to gather information. One paper should be completed for each household. 

Action Step 3: Submit Information! Enter the information you gathered into the google survey form. Each paper survey should be entered as a separate google survey form. 

Option 2: Enter Data Directly into Google Survey Forms

Action Step 1: Skip the paper form! Use the google survey form to ask questions of clients and enter the data directly into the google form survey here. One survey should be completed for each household. 

Housing Inventory Chart 

Background: Information about your project is included in the Housing Inventory Chart that includes information on all emergency shelter and transitional housing projects available in our geographic region.
