Homeless Point-in-Time Count

Show All Answers

1. How will this information be used to help homeless children and adults?: The more we know about our homeless population, the better we can serve their needs. This Point-in-Time Count is not only a chance to learn how many people are homeless and where they are located, but also information about how they became homeless and what services they need to help them.

2. What can I expect on the day of the count?: Depending on where you are counting, the local coordinator will probably have a central meeting place where volunteers can review their duties and responsibilities prior to going out to conduct the count. From there volunteers will go out in teams with an experienced leader into designated areas" to count and survey the homeless living in that area.
