To provide perspective on the actual state of
homelessness in SC over twelve months, it is
important to show comparative data between the
homeless-related HMIS (year-round) and PIT (singlenight) data. Note that the HMIS data is taken from the
date range 10/1/2020-9/30/2021 (FY21). The annual PIT
Count data was collected on 1/26/2022, less than 4
months later.
