Medford to Participate in the 2025 Point in Time Count

The City is looking for volunteers to help collect data on the homeless population, as part of the 2025 Point in Time count. The count will be held on Wednesday, January 29, beginning in the evening and continuing through the night until all areas have been counted.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Continuums of Care (CoCs) to conduct a Point in Time (PIT) count of people experiencing homelessness at least every other year. This count helps with understanding homelessness in the community, guiding critical funding and services to those who need it.

“Getting a better understanding of the needs of all those in Medford experiencing homelessness through this initiative will enable us to more directly engage with all community members and deliver resources to assist with their living conditions,” Mayor Lungo-Koehn said. “Giving agency to those who are unhoused and ensuring a connection with professionals who can help is a crucial step toward ending homelessness. I thank all those who volunteer to undertake this important work and thank the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities for spearheading the project.”

All participating communities across the country will conduct their counts on January 29. Volunteers will canvas the City in groups to identify where our homeless neighbors stay at night.
