The annual point-in-time count (PIT) of local homeless folks is rapidly approaching. It will occur on Friday, 1/26/2024. We are recruiting volunteers to help interview individuals on the 26th. Your help will be really important. You’ll get a new view of what homelessness is, and some of the systems that are trying to address it.
- Volunteer sign-up: If you are interested in volunteering, please complete this short form
- Please complete even if you are only planning to interview people at a specific program that you work at. This will help us track coverage and training needs.
- Training: We will email again, but the general training is scheduled for Thursday, January 18 from 5:30 to 7:30.
- It will be via Zoom; here is the link
- A recording will also be posted shortly after.
- Posters: If you work at a program where counting will take place, please consider placing these posters up a week in advance. We have English and Marshallese versions and are working on a Spanish translation.
