Each year, the Continuum of Care conducts a Point-in-Time Count to understand the scope of homelessness in our community. Read the 2026 Arlington County PIT Count summary(PDF, 240KB). Data from Arlington, VA is part of a regional analysis and annual report on homelessness by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) Homeless Services Planning and Coordinating Committee.
