January is the  “Point-In-Time count” to help identify the number of people living unhoused, both in temporary or emergency shelters and outdoors. The information collected during a specific “point in time,” is used by the federal government and the state to allocate funding for  a variety of community organizations and agencies in our county.  Mendocino County count is planned to begin on January 26 and through the following week. Volunteers are needed to assist with the effort, which takes place in numerous locations throughout the county. The Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care will be organizing volunteer training will be provided via Zoom. If you can volunteer, you can sign up at Point In Time.
