The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved the Los Angeles Continuum of Care’s waiver request to forgo the unsheltered Point-In-Time (PIT) count (more commonly known as the Homeless Count) in 2021 due to COVID-19 safety concerns.
“Since the pandemic first came to our region, LAHSA has put the health and safety of our clients, volunteers, and community first. We did not come to this decision easily, but it is the safe one, and the right one,” LAHSA Executive Director Heidi Marston said.
