Volunteer registration for the 2026 Point-in-Time count has begun AND WE NEED YOU! The Point-in-Time Count is not possible without your time and commitment.

Every year, UNITY of Greater New Orleans, as the lead agency for the New Orleans/Jefferson Parish Continuum of Care, conducts a Point-in-Time count. The Point-in-Time count is conducted to provide a comprehensive count of how many persons are homeless in emergency shelters, in homeless transitional housing, and in places not meant for human habitation on any given night. The Point-in-Time Count provides the information needed to help us understand the nature and extent of homelessness in the Greater New Orleans Area and the resources needed to prevent and end homelessness.

Shelter Count available slots:
Monday, January 26, 2026 from 4:00 P.M. till 7:00 P.M.
