The data collected from the count is used to inform policy and funding decisions at the local, state and federal levels.

Please be aware of this opportunity to volunteer on Friday, Jan. 26, 2024. Volunteers will be asked to canvass a designated area and count the number of people experiencing homelessness as well as conduct interviews.
