Point in Time Count set for January
Monday, September 30, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
The Ending Community Homelessness Coalition’s annual Point in Time Count will take place on the night of Jan. 25, 2025, and the effort to find at least 1,200 volunteers is already underway. Volunteers count the area’s homeless population and distribute care kits as part of an effort to better understand the community. Anyone interested in volunteering can sign up on the volunteer interest list now, with more details and updates to come. Points of contact for groups are encouraged to sign up early. The count surveys those who are experiencing homelessness to get an accurate count of the population as part of a requirement to receive federal Continuum of Care dollars. Insights from the 2023 count, which was conducted by more than 700 volunteers, can be found here.
