Homeless Point-In-Time Count Set For January 28

Mid-Columbia Community Action Council and Washington Gorge Action Programs are preparing for the 2026 Point-in-Time Count on January 28.  The Point-In-Time Count is a literal count of all people experiencing houselessness in the community on a single night.  Required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the tally provides data that informs funding decisions and policy development for programs addressing houselessness in the region.  MCCAC serves as the lead agency for the count in Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties, while WAGAP does the same in Klickitat and Skamania Counties.  Both organizations work with local partner agencies to collect surveys from individuals or households experiencing houselessness during regular client engagement or through outreach in the community.  Surveys will be collected the week of January 26.  The 2025 count revealed that 253 individuals were experiencing houselessness across Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties.
