2019 Celebration
Join CHIP in celebrating! This event is our annual fundraiser reception and awards presentation. This includes our community's Diamond Service Award, which is presented to an individual with lived experience of homelessness and is giving back to the community in meaningful ways.The Celebration is an opportunity to recognize the people and projects that have made an impact on ending homelessness over the past year. As part of this year’s Celebration, we are also pleased to host a facilitated conversation with Indianapolis mayoral candidates Mayor Joe Hogsett and Senator Jim Merritt. It will no doubt prove to be an inspiring and enlightening dialogue as the candidates share their vision and strategic priorities to address homelessness in Indianapolis.

2019 Point-in-Time Count Report
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a single night in January. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires each Continuum of Care to conduct a census of homeless persons who are sheltered in emergency shelter, transitional housing, and safe havens on a single night. The data and findings from recent PIT Counts explore the issue of homelessness in Marion County and inform policy makers and service providers.
The 2019 Point-in-Time Count Report and Infographic can be found online using the following link:
