In order for services to be offered and funded there must be an account of where and
in what communities the services are needed.
Each year the U.S. Dept. of Housing with the help from Volunteers count all individuals that are homeless, sheltered and unsheltered. Volunteers will be in small groups and in cars. During the Count there will be NO direct contact and NO services offered.
