In today’s episode of Roger That, I’m sharing with you all more about CHIP – which stands for Coalition of Homelessness Intervention and Prevention. CHIP mobilizes, advocates, and empowers community collaboration toward ending homelessness and fosters an effective system of homelessness prevention and intervention in the greater Indianapolis area.

One effort CHIP leads is the Point In Time Count – also known as the PIT Count. The PIT Count is an annual survey of homeless people in the United States conducted by local agencies called Continuums of Care on behalf of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. This count also includes counting how many of the homeless are veterans – which is where HVAF comes in. So today, we are going to be talking all things CHIP and PIT Count with who better than CHIP’s Executive Director, Dr. Chelsea Haring-Cozzi.
