Broward County
Point-in-Time Count
March 20-30
The Broward County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count will be conducted over a ten-day period, from March 20-30, 2021. The PIT Count is an annual census of all the sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in Broward County. Finding out how many homeless people are in Broward County is a critical step in finding solutions to homelessness. The results of the count help planners understand the needs of the homeless community and devise targeted strategies for combating homelessness.
The County's Homeless Initiative Partnership is charged with counting every homeless person annually and asking them to complete a survey. The count is required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and determines federal funding for homeless services and programs. The survey is also used to provide up-to-date information about the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, and to inform those experiencing homelessness about the Homeless Continuum of Care (CoC). The CoC is a network of organizations, advocates, residents and businesses that plan programs to implement a full range of emergency, transitional and permanent housing, along with prevention and other services to help alleviate homelessness in Broward County.
Typically, the PIT Count is conducted over the course of two days at the end of January, however due to COVID-19, significant changes have been implemented to ensure the safety of PIT surveyors and participants. In lieu of volunteers, teams of trained surveyors and experienced homeless outreach workers will canvass the County to conduct a brief survey with homeless persons. For more information, please visit Browardpointintime.org.
Anyone experiencing homeless can call 954.563.4357 to initiate assessment for homeless services.

Hollywood is
Plastic and Foam Free on Hollywood Beach, at City-Owned Properties & by City VendorsThe City of Hollywood is committed to reducing our environmental impact and becoming more sustainable. One step the City has taken in achieving this goal is to ban the use of nonbiodegradable containers, like plastics and expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), for serving food products.
On October 1, 2018, any establishment located east of the Intracoastal Waterway selling food intended for consumption by customers off the premises of their business, was included in the ban. On October 21, 2020, the City Commission approved a ban on single-use plastics and polystyrene on City-owned properties and by City vendors. City-owned properties include community centers, Hollywood City Hall, Fire Stations and more. A six month grace period is now in effect, prior to citation for violations.
What types of food packaging are banned?
Cups, lids, straws, plates, bowls, utensils, sandwich containers, or other packaging, which are made of plastic, polystyrene plastic, or of any nonbiodegradable material are banned.
What is polystyrene and why did the City of Hollywood ban it?
Polystyrene, best known as “styrofoam,” is a non-biodegradable plastic material made from petroleum. It is commonly used in takeout containers, disposable coffee cups, single-use utensils and dinnerware. The material breaks apart easily, and is often found littered throughout waterways and can harm wildlife if ingested.
How do you identify polystyrene packaging?
Polystyrene material can be identified with the "6" symbol marked on the packaging.
What types of food packaging can be used?
Businesses may use any compostable materials or paper. Businesses may also access the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), which is an online catalog of key individuals and groups from government, industry and academia, which promotes the use and recycling of biodegradable polymeric materials (via composting).
What will happen if my business does not comply with the ban?
Businesses found in violation will be issued a Code Violation and could face fines for failing to comply.
For more information about the products included in the ban, please refer to Code of Ordinances 97.05. You may also contact the City of Hollywood Code Compliance Division at 954.921.3061.
