Volunteers needed for count of homeless in Mendocino County

The Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care will be conducting its annual unsheltered Point-In-Time Count on the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 29, and will need volunteers, county officials announced.

In a press release, officials explained that “the PIT Count is mandated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and is used by the State of California and multiple Federal Departments to calculate allocations of homeless services funding. The data received through the PIT Count will help our local community to identify needs and develop planning to engage and support those persons experiencing homelessness throughout Mendocino County.”

    The release also described the Continuum of Care as “a group of agencies that consist of service providers, Tribal Governments, non-profits, faith-based organizations, concerned community members, and Mendocino County staff. These individuals and agencies come together to help address the needs of those who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. This undertaking requires a lot of individuals performing a lot of different tasks in preparation for this event, as well as surveying individuals and families experiencing homelessness throughout Mendocino County.

    Volunteers are needed “to count along the Coast as well as the Southern and Northern Inland portions of Mendocino County, (and) if you would like to volunteer, please sign up online HERE.”
