The Point in Time (#PIT) Count is a once-a-year count of individuals and families in shelters and places not meant for human habitation, usually happening during the last 10 days in January. This year, the count happened on January 24th in 65 out of 91 counties of the Indiana Balance of State (Marion County completes their own count). This year marked the introduction of the Youth Supplemental Survey to the PIT Count. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines homelessness differently than some other federal agencies. Specifically, HUD does not consider individuals who are doubled up or couch surfing to be homeless. The Youth Supplemental Survey collected responses from eligible youth between the ages of 14 and 24 who met an expanded definition of homelessness. A total of 39 eligible responses were collected. You can see these 39 individuals added to the totals of unaccompanied and parenting youth from the 2024 count compared to totals from the past five years.

My Community, My Vision (MCMV) is a program designed to connect high school students across Indiana to each other and their neighborhoods, towns, and cities. Up to five selected cohorts of students across the state will participate in five months of workshops, planning, and fundraising for a place-based community project they would like to see come to life in their town or city. Using placemaking as both a strategy for community revitalization and a tool for building quality of life, student projects will take underutilized or vacant space and turn it into publicly accessible hubs for connection, interaction, and community pride. IHCDA has seen great success using the CreatINg Places crowd-granting program statewide to incentivize community-led placemaking efforts. Building upon this model, students in the MCMV program who successfully strategize, plan, and raise a fundraising goal of between $5,000 and $25,000 towards their community project will receive a matched grant from IHCDA. Applications close September 3rd, 2024, so click here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRqdjeEn Pictured: 2023 MCMV participant Warren County Community Foundation Youth Council created their community's nonprofit coffee shop
