– which serves as the lead agency for the Austin-Travis County Continuum of Care , manager of federal funding to combat homelessness. The PIT count is a census of people living out of doors, the results of which are compiled into a report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and sent to Congress to determine how much federal funding each CoC should receive in its next budget.
