A huge shoutout to Angie Chaney, Homeless Outreach Coordinator, and Ashlan Lippert, Homeless Outreach Social Worker, for their dedication and hard work during the Point-in-Time (PIT) Count on January 28, 2026. The PIT Count is an annual count required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. Each count is planned, coordinated, and carried out locally. It provides a nationwide snapshot of homelessness, used to allocate resources, track progress, and inform policy. The Veterans Health Administration Homeless Programs staff participate in the PIT Count by completing the survey with those experiencing unsheltered homelessness in our communities.
Joined by Director Lisa Curnes from VA Central Iowa, this incredible team is committed to gathering crucial data to support our mission of ending Veteran homelessness.
These efforts help us understand the challenges our Veterans face and allow us to provide the resources and assistance they need. Thank you for being an inspiration and for your unwavering dedication to our Veterans!
