Volunteers Needed for PointinTimeCount Homeless Survey

On Thursday, Jan. 27, the County of San Bernardino and the City of Redlands will conduct the annual Point-In-Time-Count (PITC) of unsheltered homeless individuals. In the City of Redlands, City employees and volunteers from the public, community groups, homeless service providers, law enforcement, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, local businesses, neighborhood associations, non-profit agencies and others will canvass the City to count, survey and assist the homeless population, in conjunction with the countywide PITC effort. The PITC and survey is critical to secure government and private grant funding and other resources for the City to assist individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The PITC will be conducted using a web-based application designed specifically for the San Bernardino County PITC. Volunteers will need an Apple or Android smartphone to conduct the survey. Volunteers are needed to make the 2022 Point-In-Time-Count a success. Considerations for COVID-19 have been taken. Teams will adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 safety guidelines. Personal Protective Equipment will be provided to all volunteers.
