Chester County 2026 Point-in-Time Count

Homelessness in Chester County at One Point-in-Time

On the evening of Wednesday, January 28 and early hours of Thursday, January 29, 2026, the Chester County Department of Community Development (DCD) facilitated the annual Point-in-Time Count (PIT). This is 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 experiencing homelessness on a given night, better understand homelessness in Chester County and across the nation, and support the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness’ (CCPEH) efforts to prevent and solve homelessness.
