The South Dakota Housing for the Homeless Consortium will conduct its annual statewide Point-In-Time homeless count Jan. 28.
Data from the annual count is used to measure homelessness on local, state and national levels. PIT count data helps policy makers and communities measure progress, identify strengths and gaps in services, increase public awareness of homelessness and enhance system planning and responses.
Please contact the coordinators in your area for more information on training and organization plans.
