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.

Tab A - Homeless Population

This 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, sex, gender, race and ethnicity, and chronic homelessness status. PIT Additional Subpopulations are then shown.

Tab B - Veterans

This tab shows the same demographic aggregate data as the Homeless Population 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.

Tab C - Youth

This tab shows the same demographic aggregate data as the Homeless Population 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.

Tab D - Homeless Subpopulations

This tab shows aggregate data broken out into the following subpopulations: Adults with a Serious Mental Illness, Adults with a Substance Use Disorder, Adults with HIV/AIDS, and Adult Survivors of Domestic Violence.
