LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Continuum of Care is looking for volunteers to conduct an annual countywide homeless count on Friday, Jan. 25, 2013.  

Volunteers will work side-by-side with expert homeless service providers.  

They will drive and walk through assigned routes from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The goal is to canvass the entire service territory and seek individuals and families who have challenges securing permanent housing.

The purpose of the homeless count is so that the county can seek grant funding from state and federal agencies.  

This count of the county’s homeless population helps to confirm the need for these funds, and can be used to adjust service needs as appropriate.
