2019 Everyone Counts Street Count
Every year, on a single day, all across the United States, volunteers get together in an attempt to county every homeless person in the country. This is known as the Point-in-Time PIT count. PIT Counts are a measure of the number of homeless people on a specific day (hence the point in time reference). This type of counting is known as “taking a snapshot” of the situation.
This will be my fourth year volunteering for this count, and this year's count will require 300+ volunteers to spread throughout Pima County visiting camps in washes and desert, bus stops, meal sites, abandoned buildings, and other areas where people without housing may shelter on the morning of January 23, 2019. Volunteers need not be experienced, but have a desire to contribute to a community-wide effort to help reduce homelessness in Pima County.
There is a required training prior to the event if you have not volunteered before. If you're interested in volunteering, e-mail me at tim@habitationrealty.com and I'll go over how it works in more detail. More registration info below.
