Homeless count conducted, data to be released in April
On Thursday, January 25, 50 volunteers gathered throughout the day at the First Presbyterian Church in San Marcos to go out in three-hour shifts to locate and count the homeless population in Hays County. The count was conducted by the Homeless Coalition of Hays County. The organizers of the official Point In Time Count were Patsy Ann Reed, PIT Count Planning Team Coordinator, and Nancy Heintz, PIT Lead Co-Coordinator 'The Teams were made up of a driver, a spotter who helped navigate their assigned area, and one or two surveyors,' Heintz said. 'The surveyors used a Counting Us mobile app on their phone to complete the survey with the people they encountered who were willing to participate in the survey.' 02/04/2024 05:00 AM
