WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We are Seeking volunteers to assist in the
ULSTER COUNTY ANNUAL UNSHELTERED HOMELESS COUNT
COORDINATED BY THE ULSTER COUNTY CONTINUUM OF CARE
January 28-29, 2016
The Ulster County Continuum of Care is required to conduct a homeless count in the last week of January each year. This count is essential for Ulster County to access over $1 million in funding each year that supports homeless housing and services to a number of homeless service providers in the county.
We are seeking volunteers to assist us with the execution of the count. Volunteers are needed to help get materials to service based location sites, assist at service based locations to administer anonymous surveys and provide giveaways, or to go to known locations where homeless regularly congregate to count the number of person living outside and to give away bagged lunches.
The Ulster County Continuum of Care will use the numbers to better plan services and housing options for homeless in our community.
For those interested in participating, we are holding a meeting on Monday, January 25th at 11 am at the Kirkland, 2 Main Street, Kingston, to finalize coverage of all service based and known locations and a short orientation.
For more information please contact Beth at 845-331-7080×157 or bmclendon@fowinc.org or Kathy at 845-331-9860 or kgermain@rupco.org
