Safety is our number one priority for the Point-in-Time Count - both for our volunteers and individuals staying outside. We have postponed the 2026 PIT Count to next Wednesday, 2/4.

The Community Partnership collaborated with the Urban Institute on new research that finds an estimated 12 percent of DC residents experience housing insecurity.
Black residents experience insecurity at a higher rate than any other racial group, with Black residents ages 15 and older making up an estimated 68 percent of the housing-insecure population. Additionally, 42 percent of those experiencing housing insecurity live in Wards 7 and 8.
The researchers find that services designed to address housing insecurity should be targeted in a way that better reaches disproportionately affected groups, including Black and Hispanic residents, households with children, and residents in Wards 7 and 8.
