Using the Report

This report has six tabs, each serving a specific purpose. We recommend you start with the Client Detail tab, then the Disability Detail tab, check for data quality issues and resolve them in Community Services if needed, then go to the three PIT Summary tabs to view overall data.

PIT Summary

The summary tab shows overall aggregate data for persons served on the night of the PIT. After you've checked data quality on the Client Detail and Disability Detail tabs, check this tab to see your overall PIT count data. If the data don't match your expectations, go back to the detail tabs to double check the underlying data. Only clients with Location Filter = X on the Detail tabs are included in this summary tab.

Household Type	Definition
Adult Only	All household members are age 18 or older
Adult & Child	At least one household member is age 18 or older and at least one household member is under age 18
Child Only	All household members are under age 18
Total Persons	All household types

The data are broken out into several demographic categories: number of persons served by age, gender, race and ethnicity, chronic homelessness status, and chronic homelessness status by race. PIT Additional Subpopulations are then shown.

The section 'Total Number of Persons NOT in HH Types Listed Above' should be 0. If it is not 0, check the detail tabs for clients without an age.

Finally, intended for Balance of State projects, there are tables showing clients served by Current County and County of Last Permanent Address.

PIT Summary - Veterans

The summary tab shows the same demographic aggregate data as the PIT Summary tab, but only for veteran households served on the night of the PIT. Veteran households are only separated into two household types: Adults Only and Adult & Child.

PIT Summary - Youth

The summary tab shows the same demographic aggregate data as the PIT Summary tab, but only for youth households served on the night of the PIT. Unaccompanied Youth are households where all household members are under age 25. Parenting Youth households contain members all under age 25 where there is a parent-child relationship.
