In order to increase understanding and awareness of homelessness within Windsor and Essex County, the Homeless Coalition of Windsor Essex County, supported by the City of Windsor, is announcing a Point in Time Count event to be held April 17 & 18, 2018.
The Homeless Coalition of Windsor Essex is looking for volunteers to help with an upcoming survey and count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The program, which involves more than 60 communities across the country is called the “Point-in-Time Count of Homelessness.” In the past, individual cities and towns conducted their own surveys and counts using different methods, which made it difficult to get a clear snapshot, but this coordinated count will allow each community, using standardized methods, to gather both national and community-specific information about each unique individual and/or family who is experiencing homelessness.
The plan will also assist participating communities, such as Windsor Essex County, in identifying how many local residents are experiencing homelessness, while also giving greater understanding to the challenges being faced by those experiencing homelessness. This information is invaluable to creating a community-wide and collaborative response to ending homelessness within our community.
“A Point in Time Count is an exciting step forward for us; using the knowledge gained from the surveys, it will allow us, as a responsive community, to create a plan of action tailored to our community. Every survey and every volunteer who assists is helping us get one step closer to eradicating homelessness in Windsor Essex County.” - Angela Yakonich, Community Developer, Homeless Coalition Windsor Essex
Windsor’s survey will take place Tuesday, April 17 and Wednesday, April 18, 2018. Participants will follow a common methodology to identify and enumerate local residents who are sleeping in shelters, on the streets and/or in other public locations. There are three survey time slots to pick from, and volunteers are encouraged to choose more than one:
All volunteers will receive mandatory training, and they will work in teams and alongside staff of many different Homeless Coalition Membership agencies.
For more information or to register and show your interest in supporting those in our community experiencing homelessness, please visit Point in Time Count 2018, or go to www.eventbrite.com and search Point in Time Count 2018, or contact 211 and ask about Point in Time Count volunteering.
This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada's Homelessness Partnering Strategy.
