2026 Baltimore City Point-In-Time Count

Calling all Baltimore City Continuum of Care members, city agencies, advocates, persons with lived experience of homelessness, and community members!

Volunteers are needed to canvas various areas around Baltimore City and survey individuals experiencing homelessness for the 2026 The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count. The PIT Count provides a snapshot of how many people are experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness in a community. The results are used to inform policy and direct resources to end homelessness, including receiving Federal and State homeless services resources and funding. Additionally, the PIT Count is an opportunity for the city to identify and connect individuals, families, and youth experiencing homelessness to much needed housing and support services.

This year’s count will take place over two nights: Sunday, January 25, 2026 and Monday, January 26, 2026. Each day's count takes place from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 pm. at Our Daily Bread, 725 Fallsway, Baltimore, MD 21202.

Register for one or both days today to join our efforts!

What can volunteers expect?

Small teams of four (4), led by an experienced homeless outreach worker, will be assigned an area in Baltimore City to physically canvas streets and other outdoor locations to survey individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Canvassing volunteers will need to walk several blocks to a mile and should expect to be outside for several hours.

(NOTE: we are not able to accommodate team placement requests if you are volunteering with a group or organization. Your flexibility and understanding on this matter greatly appreciated.)
