Three Important Acronyms in Ending Homelessness – PIT, HIC and AHAR

As HomeAid looks to engage with communities across the nation in ending homelessness (and the progress that is being made), three important sources of data and their acronyms are often discussed as we assess how to understand and address the crisis of those that are unhoused: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Annual Housing Assessment Report (AHAR), Point-In-Time (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC).

The AHAR is a comprehensive report that provides an overview of homelessness in the United States. It is published by HUD each year from data collected from 387 Continuum of Cares (CoC) across the nation.

The AHAR synthesizes data from various sources, including the Point-in-Time (PIT) count, the Housing Inventory Count (HIC), and other administrative data, to provide a comprehensive analysis of homelessness trends, characteristics, and efforts to address homelessness across the country.

To learn more about how HomeAid nationally and locally is utilizing the AHAR, PIT, and HIC, click the button below.
