Housing Day of Caring | Training for Point-In-Time Count – Multiple Dates Available
January 20, 2017 - January 25, 2017
What:
The Point-In-Time count (PIT) has two main components:
- Counting people who are experiencing homelessness
- Interviewing those who are interested in participating in a survey
The count will happen in multiple locations across the county on Saturday, January 28th 2017, from 4:30 am to 9:00 am.
All volunteers have to attend a training for the PIT. There are three training dates available:
- January 20, 4pm
- January 21, 9am
- January 25, 4pm
Why:
The PIT count and survey provide essential data on our homeless population in Orange County. Orange County receives over 20 million dollars in HUD funding for homeless services; in order to continue receiving these funds OC has to provide the PIT information every 2 years.
The information is also used by elected officials, non-profits and private funders to guide the provision of services for the homeless.
How to be involved:
We have three ways for you to be involved:
- Volunteer to count with us
- Help to collect items to give away (sign up for that opportunity here)
- Help assemble those packages as a thank you to those who participate in the survey (sign up for that opportunity here)
