Volunteers Needed-Point In Time Street Count

Tina Hafemann of Oshkosh ESTHER and member of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition asked that I share this with the greater coalition membership.


Volunteers are needed!
The State of Wisconsin collects information regarding homeless individuals using an exercise called a "point in time" survey. These surveys, sent to agencies with probable contact with the homeless, provide valuable data for communities on how to address this issue.
On Wednesday, July 28th, Oshkosh will participate in an expanded "point in time" project called a street survey. For this survey, trained volunteers work in teams during a late night shift working to identify the number of homeless individuals in the community.
ADVOCAP will direct this street survey, training volunteers and managing the data.
Volunteers are needed:

What: State of Wisconsin point in time street survey
When: Training session – week of July 12 TBA
Wednesday, July 28th, midnight to 3:00 am
Where: Assigned locations around Oshkosh
Who: Teams of two or three volunteers including a leader from an agency such as
ADVOCAP.

Volunteers must be 18 or older and participate in a training session.
