Changing Homelessness is seeking volunteers for an annual federally-mandated survey of unsheltered people in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties
initially showed the opposite may have occurred. The number of unsheltered people that year appeared to be almost 50% less than 2020. But Gilman said at the time that the impact of the pandemic on homeless populations and their movements — and on collecting data about them — left conclusions in doubt. Also, a"quirk" in a new app the agency used to collect data, replacing paper, produced"invalid data" to gauge the chronically homelessness, she said.
Last year Changing Homelessness decided against mobilizing volunteers to conduct a full 2022 count because of the then-prevalent omicron variant. Instead, the count focused on people living in emergency or transitional housing.
Earlier this year, Changing Homelessness received a $2.5 million grant to help the cause. The largest in the agency's nearly 50-year history, the grant came from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' Day 1 Families Fund. The nonprofit will use the money to"leverage and improve existing family programs and fill in identified gaps," Gilman said at the time.The count will be Jan. 25 in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties.
