2020 Point-in-Time Count for Chester County
In the early morning hours of January 23, 2020, the Chester County Department of Community Development (DCD) facilitated the annual Point in Time Count, a national effort sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of this initiative is to determine the number of people currently experiencing homelessness on a given night, to better understand homelessness in Chester County and across the nation, and to support Decade to Doorways, our community’s plan to prevent and end homelessness. Data from the count is included in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR), which is presented to Congress.
