Preliminary point-in-time numbers released; action committee reports 44 open cases and growing hotline demand
Summary
Coalition members reviewed preliminary regional point-in-time (PIT) results and the action committee reported 44 open cases, 52 households helped this year, and continued high demand on limited resources.
The coalition discussed preliminary regional point-in-time (PIT) numbers and how local cold-weather sheltering affected counts.
An action-committee speaker said the Eastern Continuum of Care's preliminary PIT report covers 33 counties and includes a 39-page dataset; the speaker said she will circulate a link to the dashboard.
Janet said the coalition eliminated a small number of duplicates from the PIT submission and noted the local street count identified 11 households (13 persons) this year compared with 19 households (21 persons) in 2024. "When you add the numbers together, they're very similar, very similar to last year," she said, citing the effect of a cold-weather shelter being open in 2025.
The action committee reported case-management metrics: 44 open cases being worked, 52 households assisted since the start of the year, 87 calls to the hotline since the start of the year (28 of those counted as street homeless) and 25 referrals from 2-1-1. The committee warned demand exceeds available funding.
Why it matters: PIT data are used for planning and funding; accuracy affects resource allocation. Coalition members discussed duplication across reporting and the need to reconcile overnight/transitional shelter counts with street counts.
Ending: Members said staff will send the Eastern COC dashboard link to partners and will follow up on how transitional and cold-weather shelter nights were recorded in the regional dashboard.
