The Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care (MCHSCoC) will be conducting its annual unsheltered Point-In-Time (PIT) Count which will be held on the morning of Wednesday, January 29th, 2025.  The PIT Count is mandated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is used by the State of California and multiple Federal Departments to calculate allocations of homeless services funding. The data received through the PIT Count will help our local community to identify needs and develop planning to engage and support those persons experiencing homelessness throughout Mendocino County.

The Continuum of Care is a group of agencies that consist of service providers, Tribal Governments, non-profits, faith-based organizations, concerned community members, and Mendocino County staff. These individuals and agencies come together to help address the needs of those who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. This undertaking requires a lot of individuals performing a lot of different tasks in preparation for this event, as well as surveying individuals and families experiencing homelessness throughout Mendocino County. We need volunteers to count along the Coast as well as the Southern and Northern Inland portions of Mendocino County.

If you would like to volunteer, please sign up online HERE. If you have questions or would like further information, please contact Alex Werner with Applied Survey Research at alex@appliedsurveyresearch.org or (877)728-4545.

    • Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      and then ya got to ask yourself what will they really do with that intel.
      they get some more do re mi from ftroop handouts and then dump that into gav’s “party chest” account for his new Marin love shack.

      then again, if gav truly cared about this issue then he would set up some FEMA tents on his property and lead by example.

      ahhh never mind.
