2026 Point In Time Count Volunteer Interest Form

Thank you for your interest in supporting the 2026 Rural Nevada Point In Time (PIT) Count.
Each year, communities across the nation come together to conduct a one-night count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. For rural regions like ours, where homelessness is often less visible and spread across vast geographic areas, volunteer participation is essential.

The Rural Nevada Continuum of Care (RNCoC) relies on dedicated community members, service providers, tribal partners, and local organizations to ensure the count is accurate, compassionate, and reflective of the real needs in our region. The data collected directly influences funding, services, and housing resources for people experiencing homelessness in rural Nevada.

By completing this brief survey, you are helping us:

Identify volunteers interested in participating in the 2026 PIT Count
Coordinate training, communication, and logistics
Strengthen community engagement across rural Nevada

Your willingness to serve helps ensure that every person is seen, every story matters, and every community has the information needed to support those in need.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey and for your commitment to making a difference.
