Homeless Point in Time Count

Calling all County Employees...change doesn’t happen without you! Volunteers are needed for the 2019 Homeless Point In Time (PIT) Count, which is the annual counting of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The PIT Count will take place 5 - 8:30 a.m. Thursday, January 24. Read on to learn more about the PIT Count and how to volunteer.

Teams of volunteers and experts will canvas assigned routes throughout the County and document those experiencing homelessness. The information can be used to plan local homeless assistance systems and raise public awareness. 

To volunteer, sign up at the website. If you’re using a County computer, go to https://liveunitedsbc.org/, otherwise go to www.commongroundsbc.org to register. Register today before volunteer trainings begin the week of Jan 7-21. For questions, staff may also contact Jett Black-Maertz in CSD at (805) 568-3503 or jblack@co.santa-barbara.ca.us
