MD-503 Project Ranking for FY2016 Continuum of Care Competition

Reports

• Point in Time Count
  The Point-in-Time (PIT) count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a single night in January. HUD requires that Continuums of Care conduct an annual count of homeless persons who are sheltered in emergency shelter, transitional housing, and Safe Havens on a single night.
  
  Continuums of Care also must conduct a count of unsheltered homeless persons every other year (odd numbered years).  Each count is planned, coordinated, and carried out locally.  Each year Anne Arundel County partners with County and City of Annapolis Police, non-profits, faith based organizations, and community volunteers to survey the homeless on the street.
  
  If you want to learn how you can participate in the Point In Time Count for 2016 please contact Justin Bieler at justin.bieler@maryland.gov or (410) 269-4749

• Annual Homeless Assessment Report
  (AHAR) is a report to the U.S. Congress on the extent and nature of homelessness in the United States.  It provides counts of the homeless population and describes their demographic characteristics and service use patterns.  The AHAR is based on local data from Point-in-Time counts, Housing Inventory Counts, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).
  
  Anne Arundel County’s report is based on the Federal Fiscal Year (October – September)

• Anne Arundel County Homeless Report
  Each year Anne Arundel County summarizes the amount of people that are served by homeless providers across the county.  This report not only outlines how many people entered the shelter system, but also documents those that came in looking for services but were diverted from the shelter system.
  
  This report is based on the ​calendar year (Jan, 1 2014 - Dec 31, 2014). For more information about this report contact Justin Bieler at justin.bieler@maryland.gov
