Officials in San Bernardino are seeking volunteers to help with the city’s annual Point in Time Count (PITC) of unhoused residents later this month.
“Tackling homelessness with compassion and urgency remains a critical priority for San Bernardino,” said San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran. “We call on our residents to stand together and be part of this meaningful effort to support those in need.”
The PITC is a federally mandated activity to identify the number of unhoused individuals throughout the nation, the city of San Bernardino posted on its website.
The results are used in determining funding allotments for programs and services in local communities.
“A complete and accurate count is essential to strategically address homelessness in the City,” said Cassandra Searcy, Deputy Director of Housing and Homelessness. “Volunteer participation is crucial for a successful Count, and we hope San Bernardino residents will once again turn out to be an important part of the solution.”
San Bernardino’s PITC will be held on Jan. 23 between 5:15 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, have a smartphone to participate in the survey and attend at least one training session.
