Everything for count night in one place. Build your survey, assign volunteers and locations, collect responses in the field, and review submissions as they come in — without juggling clipboards, paper packets, and a dozen spreadsheets.
Works where the count happens. Field teams record locations and complete assessments even with no signal. Data syncs automatically the moment a device reconnects, so nothing is lost in a rural canvassing area.
Made for CoCs, not retrofitted from a generic survey tool. Quick PIT speaks your language — sheltered and unsheltered counts, observation and interview surveys, waivers, and HUD data elements are built in, not bolted on. Surveys are fully customizable with granular conditional logic.
Data you can hand to HUD. Responses map to HUD-aligned questions and export cleanly for your HDX submission and local reporting, so your data team spends count week analyzing instead of re-typing.
How it works (3 steps)
- Set up your count. Build interview, observation, and sheltered surveys from a library of HUD-aligned questions, then identify your count date, collection window and locations.
- Conduct the count. Volunteers and staff use the mobile or web app on their phones — online or off — to conduct surveys with ease.
- Review and export. Watch responses land in real time, spot coverage gaps, and export clean, HUD-ready data when the count closes.

FAQ
- What is a Point-in-Time (PIT) count?
A HUD-required annual count of people experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness on a single night, conducted by each Continuum of Care. - Does Quick PIT handle both sheltered and unsheltered counts?
Yes — it supports unsheltered interview and observation surveys plus sheltered-count programs. - Do we have to replace our whole process?
No. Most CoCs start by digitizing the unsheltered survey and add sheltered counts, waivers, and resources over time. - Can volunteers use it without training?
The field app is built for one-night volunteers — large touch targets, guided survey flow, and conditional logic that hides irrelevant questions.
