In Dallas Everyone Counts!

We just started publicizing our need for volunteers for the upcoming Homeless Count, and we already have about 35 registered teams! The thing is, we are going to need about 200 teams.

Why is the Homeless Count so important? Well, you can't fix a problem if you don't have accurate information about it. If you do, you can not only fix it, but measure how and what solutions are working. That is why we are all about the data.

Thankfully, the media and the public is catching on to this. Listen to this short fascinating piece from Friday afternoon:

Like we said, we need about 200 teams, and more importantly, we need YOU! So, please register today. But don't stop there. Tell your friends and co-workers, and post on social media, using #dallascounts2016. All the info, a link to register, and more is on the dedicated page on our website: http://www.mdhadallas.org/2016-homeless-count/

Together, we'll make a statement on January 21, 2016 - Dallas is our home, and in Dallas everyone counts!
