Washtenaw County Continuum of Care will be conducting its annual Point-in-Time Count of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness on the evening of Wednesday, January 31, 2024, from 10  pm to 2am.

During the count, volunteers will canvas the county to identify anyone experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Volunteers will conduct a brief survey with anyone they encounter, and will be able to provide supplies and food for people staying outside. The data gathered from the surveys will be reported to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and will be used to inform planning efforts at the local, state, and federal levels.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to conduct the count. Please see below about what volunteers can expect.
