PIT App

Django app with web forms to assist with the collection of data for Point-in-Time (PIT) counts for the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) sent to the U.S. Congress. You can view these annual reports at: https://www.hudexchange.info/homelessness-assistance/ahar

• Observation: https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/Model-Observation-Based-Unsheltered-Night-of-Count-PIT-Survey.pdf

Running Locally

1. Run using run.sh to set up
2. Start locally by going to http://127.0.0.1:8000/
3. Set up an account and submit surveys

For this production deployment, a newly registered user is automatically made an Admin which gives access to the Django Admin Dashboard. When deployed at a volunteer event, this automation can be turned off. This is how the system is designed to work, with newly registered users automatically being placed into the "Unapproved Users" group. In this deployment however, your registration will make you an Admin, granting access to all features available in the system.
