The four PIT (Point-in-time) dates (last Wednesday of designated month) are also provided to assist in the assessment of individual housing programs inclusion in the HIC (Housing Inventory Count) and the former AHAR (Annual Homeless Assessment Report), now derived from the LSA (Longitudinal System Analysis).
