inister surveys and help prepare for the count.<\/p>\n

Preparation for the count is extensive and managed by the CoC’s Point in Time planning committee.\u00a0 The Point in Time count entails surveytaking of folks experiencing homelessness, producing aggregated data that supports CoC planning efforts and evidence that the CoC’s performance merits additional funding for homeless services from the United States department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the State of Wisconsin, and other sources of private funding.\u00a0 Milwaukee CoC’s significant effort to address homelessness has contributed to declines in several Point in Time count reporting metrics from 2011 to 2022. During the 2022 Point in Time count held on January 26th, 2022, 832 total persons experiencing homelessness in all settings (emergency shelter, transitional shelter, safe haven, and unsheltered) were counted in Milwaukee<\/strong> County.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 By comparison, 1,466 total persons experiencing homelessness were counted in the 2011 Point in Time count.\u00a0 The decrease in the overall Point in Time Count over several years can be attributed to increase in housing inventory: converting transitional housing projects to rapid rehousing projects, and creating new permanent supportive projects through reallocation or applying for ne<\/span>w funding in CoC competitions.\u00a0 In 2021 and 2022, Milwaukee CoC addressed a decrease in Milwaukee’s total emergency shelter capacity due to the coronavirus pandemic by establishing socially-distanced shelter alternatives in local hotels and motels.\u00a0 Those staying in these designated hotel and motel settings were counted in the emergency shelter total of 663 persons during the 2022 Point in Time count.\u00a0 Many of those sheltered in hotel and motel settings previously stayed on the street, which may explain the decrease from 87 to 18 total counted as unsheltered in 2020 and 2022, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n
