The city of Atlanta will conduct its Homeless Point-in-Time Count Jan. 22 through Jan. 24, 2015. The city will administer surveys to citizens experiencing homelessness.
The survey will focus on individuals living in shelters and transitional housing, as well as unsheltered homeless individuals who are sleeping in outdoor locations such as sidewalks, parks, encampments and under bridges. The homeless count is critical for tracking the success of local efforts to end homelessness in metro Atlanta and essential for planning future efforts.
Volunteers are needed to help gather information in three shifts: 7 p.m. – 12 a.m. Jan. 22; 10 p.m. - 3 a.m. Jan. 22 and 3 - 8 p.m. Jan. 23.
There will also be opportunities for volunteers to collect surveys at service locations Jan. 23 – Jan. 28.
