On July 29, 2024, Douglas County conducted a Summer Point-in-Time. This Point-in-Time showed the number of individuals sleeping outside was reduced from 43 to six, and no encampments were found.
The Douglas County Homeless Initiative acknowledges that in our community homelessness increases during the summer. Although we fully support and participate in the Winter Point-in-Time, the Initiative focuses locally on the results demonstrated by the Summer Point-in-Time.
Douglas County – along with six other metro area counties – participates in the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative’s annual Point in Time Count.
The Point in Time (PIT) Count is an annual, unduplicated count of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January.
The count occurs in all seven counties on the same night in January.
The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative will release official data from the count this summer.
