Wiregrass 2-1-1 will host this year’s homeless count in Dothan Saturday, February 4th. Volunteers are needed for the annual count.
Each year “The US Dept of Housing & Urban Development asks communities across the nation to count the homeless—those without a physical address at a particular point in time. The Southeast Alabama Coalition for the Homeless has arranged for the homeless count to take place on Saturday, February 4.”At 9:30 a.m. Saturday volunteers are asked to meet at The Harbor in Dothan for a brief training session. The whole count is expected to end by noon and completely finished by 1/1:30 am.
The count often referred to as PIT “greatly affects funding, both private and public, for homeless services and affects the methodology of those services. A thorough count is crucial in identifying and understanding both the progress we’ve made and the gaps within our services” according to Wiregrass 2-1-1.Subscribe to our
