​​​About Our Partner: Townspeople

Since 1984, Townspeople has been a trusted ally, starting with our commitment to serving individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Our expanded mission includes people experiencing homelessness and living with medical needs, including HIV/AIDS. 


The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, conducted annually in San Diego during the last week in January, is a physical count of all homeless persons who are living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, safe havens and on the streets on a single night. This count provides a snapshot of homelessness on a single night. The PIT is the result of extraordinary community collaboration and includes a countywide effort to engage and assess the unsheltered population.


As a volunteer for the unsheltered segment of the WeAllCount, your involvement will kick off on the morning of January 30, 2025. You will join a team of over 1700 volunteers to canvass the entire San Diego County, reaching out to individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness. By conducting a brief survey and taking a headcount, you will help ensure their experiences are counted, their voices matter, and their needs are better understood.
