United Way of Marshall County is working with the local faith community, nonprofits, businesses, and volunteers to conduct a community survey to collect data on homelessness and housing insecurities in Marshall County. This effort is part of the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, a nationwide initiative that gathers information on people experiencing housing instability – both sheltered and unsheltered – on a single day in January. This year’s count takes place on Wednesday, January 28. Local participation will help create a snapshot of housing challenges in Marshall County. Last year, nearly 100 individuals across the county shared their experiences to help paint a clearer picture of housing insecurity in local communities.
Individuals and families who have relied on township trustees, churches, or charitable organizations to remain housed from month to month are encouraged to participate.
Individuals facing eviction, temporarily staying with others, or living in situations they perceive as unsafe or unstable are encouraged to share their experiences. Families living with others due to limited housing options, rather than by choice, are also encouraged to take part.
The local PIT Count helps improve understanding of the needs and circumstances of people affected by housing insecurity in Marshall County. The information gathered supports nonprofits like United Way and local leaders as they apply for grants and develop programs to strengthen housing stability throughout the county.
Individuals may go to any one of the listed PIT Count locations. They will find specially trained volunteers who will be at each PIT Count location to help with the simple, quick process.
