COUNTY: Volunteers needed for homeless count

Group seeking the community's help in conducting its annual census of the county's homeless population on Jan. 28 and Jan. 29.

The Tacoma-Pierce County Coalition to End Homelessness is seeking the community’s help in conducting its annual census of the county’s homeless population.

The point-in-time survey is scheduled for Jan. 28 and Jan. 29. More than 100 community volunteers are needed to visit homeless individuals and ask a few questions about their situations. Volunteers will be paired for safety and will attempt to locate all unsheltered individuals who are homeless.

Call Lynda Buchanan at 253-798-6526 to volunteer for the survey.
