As you know, the evening of January 22, 2015, a few hundred volunteers helped us count those in our community who are experiencing homelessness. The Point-In-Time (PIT) Homeless Count is a requirement under U.S. Law. Having collected vital data in the PIT, Shavon Moore, our CoC Program Coordinator, now orchestrates a huge task. A few thousand surveys must be manually entered into our computer system. The more volunteers we get, the quicker this can be done. So, we need your help! 

SIGN UP HERE TO TODAY TO VOLUNTEER, AND HELP ENTER ALL THAT DATA:

For questions, contact Shavon Moore, at shavon.moore@mdhadallas.org or 972.638.5627

Once that is done, Shavon and our CoC Director, Paula Maroney, will produce a comprehensive report and brief for Dallas County, as the Collin County Homeless Coalition will produce a similar report for Collin County. Governments, foundations, and non-profits will use this data to aid and track our community's progress towards local and nationwide goals in preventing and ending homelessness. So, your help will really make a difference.
