ASSIST IN COUNTING SAN DIEGO'S HOMELESS
Volunteers Needed for San Diego’s Homeless Census Count
Posted: 12 Dec 2013 09:05 AM PST
By Doug Porter The Regional Task Force
on the Homeless is seeking over one thousand volunteers to assist in counting
homeless individuals in San Diego on January 24, 2014. The Point In Time Count
(PITC) is an annual census effort encompassing both sheltered and unsheltered
homeless individuals. Data about locations and demographics is collected,
enabling agencies in the San Diego region to better understand the scope,
impact and potential solutions to homelessness. The PITC is also crucial in
that it supplies information essential to applications for funding to address
homeless issues. Based on San Diego’s 2013
census, approximately 8,900 individuals, families and unaccompanied children experience
homelessness annually in San Diego County.
