Point-in-Time Count
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count is an annual street and shelter count to determine the number of people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County during a given point in time. This count is part of a national effort to identify the extent of homelessness throughout the country. The count includes a brief survey to identify the needs of those experiencing homelessness in the community. MAG coordinates the PIT Count each year for the Maricopa Regional Continuum of Care. MAG serves as the hub of collaboration between the Continuum of Care and local communities. The 2020 PIT Count was conducted on January 28, 2020.
Please Note: There are a number posts on this blog for related content from prior years that will help readers assess if the city government - and its administrators - have produced positive outcomes or if the issues and numbers of the homeless population have increased over time. It's a reality-check no matter what they say all the time year-after-year. Obviously they are trying once again to manipulate the news - as you can see right from the start when District 4 City Council member Jennifer Duff has to correct the mayor directly that the homeless are not just visible downtown.
BLOGGER NOTES ON RELATED RESEARCH

At one point-in-time in a public meeting, District 1 Mesa City Councilmember Mark Freeman, ensconced comfortably in his own family compound-enclave, reacted to seeing the homeless on public transit as 'the awfulness'.
In one of the first reactions to the extension of lightrail service into downtown Mesa, city officials wanted a police bike patrol first of all.
