Posted: 5/21/2025 ()

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) recently published findings from the 2024 Unsheltered Point-in-Time (PIT) Count. This count, which is used to allocate federal funds to support regional efforts to end homelessness, was widely understood to be an undercount in recent years. CSDE Affiliate Zack Almquist and CSDE Trainee Ihsan Kahveci (Sociology) have been collaborating with CSDE Research Scientist June Yang and KCRHA to improve the precision of PIT counts in the last several years, and they shared their work alongside KCRHA at CSDE recent 75th anniversary celebration. Almquist and Kahveci’s helped write the recent report on the 2024 effort. Read a summary of the findings here and the full published report here.
