2026 Indiana County Point In Time of Unsheltered Homeless Summary Report

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires county homeless assistance grant recipients to conduct regular counts of homeless people (Point in Time Count). This count includes both sheltered and unsheltered counts. The counts are taken across PA on the night of the third Wednesday of January each year in PA. The Indiana County Department of Human Services coordinates an active committee that completes activities for the Unsheltered Count. The committee representatives are from agencies, organizations, and individual residents interested in helping with the needs of our most vulnerable residents. The committee completes outreach about the count, as well as what services are available to those who find themselves homeless. They also canvass the county the night of the count to try to find anyone who is unsheltered homeless or those who are in uninhabitable conditions. Residents of the county are asked to share any possible locations where unsheltered individuals/families may be found. If you want to learn more about the count and the effort that is put forth to help/locate these individuals/families, review the 2026 Indiana County Point in Time Count of the Unsheltered Homeless Summary Report. The report can be found under the Information Tab in the menu. Go to the bottom of the page and find the Indiana County Point in Time Count of the Unsheltered Homeless Folder. Click on that folder then on the 2026 Unsheltered Count Summary Form for Coordinators. The 2025 report can also be found in the folder.
