Every January, communities across the country participate in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual effort to estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night.
In Allegheny County, this upcoming count will take place the evening of Tuesday, January 27, 2026 from 9:00 pm to as late as 2:00 am.
Allegheny County is launching “Community Counts” to build a tradition of community engagement. The goal is to recruit 300 volunteers and make this an annual initiative that residents look forward to - a meaningful way to connect with and support homelessness efforts year after year.
Volunteers are essential in making this effort possible. Volunteer participation helps ensure that every person in Allegheny County is seen, counted, and connected to support.
- Time commitment: 9:00 pm to as late as 2:00 am (rare to be out as late as 2am, however!)
- Volunteers will work in teams, traveling by foot or car
- Training and supplies are provided on site
