Asheville's crucial homeless Point-in-Time count starts today after a storm delay. The count impacts federal funding and local services.
The City of Asheville's 2026 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count for homelessness begins today, Feb. 10, after being rescheduled from late January due to Winter Storm Fern. The annual census, which is critical for securing federal funding to address homelessness, will run through Wednesday, Feb. 11. The count directly impacts local services such as shelter availability and support programs, which in turn affect community resources and taxpayer dollars.
