SUMMARY:Point In Time Survey
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers are needed for the annual Point In Time Survey (PIT)
 . The PIT survey is a federally mandated event that aims to identify the n
 umber of people experiencing homelessness. The survey collects data on how
  many people are experiencing unsheltered or sheltered homelessness and wh
 at factors contributed to their current situation. The survey is particula
 rly important for marginalized groups such as LGBTQ youth\, who are dispro
 portionately affected by homelessness due to a range of factors including 
 family rejection\, discrimination\, and lack of access to support networks
 .\n\nOn a single night each year the Delaware Continuum of Care conducts a
  Point in Time (PIT) count of people experiencing homelessness\, with the 
 assistance of community volunteers and partners.\n\nThe PIT survey provide
 s crucial data on the prevalence of homelessness among LGBTQ youth. This d
 ata is used to determine funding allocations for programs that aim to prev
 ent and intervene in youth homelessness. Without this data\, the issue of 
 LGBTQ youth homelessness may go unnoticed and underfunded\, perpetuating t
 he cycle of homelessness. Moreover\, the PIT survey also gathers important
  demographic information that can be used to better understand the experie
 nces of homeless LGBTQ youth. This information can be used to design effec
 tive interventions and programs that address the unique challenges faced b
 y LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness.\n\nLearn more about the PIT Surve
 y and LGBTQ+ Youth Here\n\nTo register for the event and complete the volu
