Volunteers needed for count of those living without homes in Kitsap

Volunteer registration is open for the annual Kitsap County Point-In-Time Count of those living without homes that takes place January 24-27, 2023. No experience is necessary – learn more at http://kcowa.us/kitsap-pit.

Community members from all walks of life are invited to participate, including college students, non-profit and faith-based organizations, neighborhood groups, veterans, bilingual individuals, people recently or currently living unsheltered, and anyone else who wants to help alleviate homelessness. Training will be provided. The deadline for volunteer registration is Jan. 16, 2023.

Volunteers will be conducting surveys of people living without homes in many different locations including Project Connect resource fairs, local service providers, food banks, shelters, and community meal sites. Data collected during the count informs local, state and federal funders about the scope of homelessness and helps channel funding and resources to local communities.
