Volunteers sought to assist with annual Point -In -Time Count
L-IHU`E — The Kauai County Housing Agency and the Kauai Community Alliance are
seeking volunteers to assist with the annual Point -In -Time Count from Jan. 23 to 28, 2019.
The Point -In -Time Count is a real-time count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless
persons on a single night and is required by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) to access homeless -related funding.
"Volunteers will discover their own power to make a difference, and work with agencies
serving the homeless population," said Kanani Fu, Housing Director for the Kauai County
Housing Agency. "The annual Point -In -Time Count provides critical data and information that
will be used to enhance homeless services and to prioritize homeless related initiatives."
To volunteer for the Point -In -Time Count, you must be 18 years of age or older to
participate and be able to attend a mandatory Point -In -Time Count training on Dec. 19 at a
determined location.
