 Please join the us and the Tucson Pima Collaboration to End Homelessness (TPCH) end homelessness in Pima County.
We need 300+ volunteers to spread throughout Pima County visiting camps in washes and desert, bus stops, meal sites, abandoned buildings, and other areas where people without housing may shelter. We interview people experiencing homelessness to collect data that helps our community provide services to people in need. Volunteers don’t need to be experienced, but should have a desire to contribute to a community-wide effort to help reduce homelessness in Pima County and be comfortable using an application on a smart phone. Register here: bit.ly/everyone2022
The 2022 Everyone Counts! Pima County Street Count is on the morning (approximately 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.) of Wednesday, January 26, 2022.
To stay current with Pima County Street Count happenings, like TPCH on Facebook. Here you can ask questions, connect with other volunteers, and learn about efforts to end homelessness in Tucson.
Please share and redistribute this announcement with your network – our community is working to make sure everyone counts! Questions? Contact: everyonecounts@tpch.net
