RAPID CITY, S.D. - Jan. 20, 2026 - PRLog -- Community organizations across Rapid City will conduct the annual Point-In-Time (PIT) Homeless Count during the week of January 27, 2026. The effort includes multiple survey locations, meals, and resource distribution events aimed at reaching individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

The Point-In-Time Count is a federally mandated initiative that helps communities better understand the scope of homelessness and secure critical funding for housing, outreach, and support services. Participation is voluntary, confidential, and requires no identification.
