Volunteers needed to help conduct homeless Point-in-Time survey

Collaborative Housing Solutions of Northwest Montana is seeking volunteers to assist in handing out its annual Point-in-Time survey, which helps get an accurate count of the area’s homeless population.

Collaborative Housing Solutions is a coalition of social services agencies in the region that work to address housing insecurity and supportive issues. The group needs volunteers for various Community Connect events happening during the Point-in-Time survey, between Jan. 25 and Feb. 1. 

The events aim to provide helpful resources and connect people with services while also asking where they slept the night of Jan. 25, in addition to follow-up questions. The survey is conducted across the country and serves to provide a better understanding of how many people are experiencing homelessness.
