2020 Point in Time Homeless Count Set
•January 8, 2020•
Each year, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires a homeless count be completed for the entire United States in January.
Why January? It is believed if some one is experiencing sleeping on the streets, in a car or in an emergency shelter, during the coldest time of the year, it is likely he has no support network and will remain homeless without assistance.
HUD uses this count to assist in determining if grant funds are effective in ending homelessness.
