Update on the 2026 Unsheltered PIT

Each year, Lake County Coalition for the Homeless volunteers spend one night in January counting unsheltered people experiencing homelessness in Lake County. An unsheltered count is required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development every other year, though Lake County has historically done it every year. However, due to recently announced changes in federal funding that have shifted staff attention to ensuring critical continuation of programming, the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless, in partnership with Lake County Community Development, will not conduct the unsheltered portion of the annual Point-In-Time (PIT) Count in January 2026. This decision reflects a careful balance between current realities and our commitment to maintaining high-quality data and a stable local homeless response system.

While this unsheltered count will not take place in 2026, the Continuum of Care team and Homeless Management Information System Administrator will still complete all required data collection for people experiencing homelessness who are staying in emergency shelters, transitional housing and permanent housing programs.

We remain confident that the sheltered count and housing inventory data collected will provide valuable information to support planning and informed decision-making across Lake County.

A summary of the 2026 Point-In-Time and Housing Inventory data will be released in spring 2026.

For questions, please contact Malin Gembra, Continuum Care Coordinator, at [email protected].
