This region’s 2025 Annual Point-in-Time Count (PITC) events are taking place at the end of January, and volunteer registration for each is open. Imperial County’s PITC, run by the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council, is happening Jan. 24-25; it is followed by San Diego County’s PITC on Jan. 30, conducted by the Regional Task Force on Homelessness. The purpose of these events is to collect data on the needs of people experiencing homelessness in the community, and they provide an opportunity to increase awareness of homelessness and spark action. Registration is open through the volunteer portals for San Diego County or Imperial County.
