Point In Time Survey Letter

Dear Organization Representative:

The State of Wisconsin collects information regarding homeless individuals on an annual basis. The state is asking us to perform another "point in time" survey on Wednesday, July 27 to determine the extent of homelessness in our area as part of a statewide “census” on homelessness.

Your organization has been identified as one which may come into contact with homeless individuals and homeless families on that day. Please route this letter to whoever would most likely collect information on homeless individuals or families identified.

How funding is allocated for homeless activities to the state and within the state is in part determined by the outcomes of these surveys. Please take a few minutes of your valuable time to fill out the enclosed form.

ADVOCAP is part of an area-wide continuum of care which provides services to the homeless. ADVOCAP has agreed to take a lead role in conducting this homeless survey in Fond du Lac, Green Lake and Southern Winnebago counties. We realize that not every agency that receives this form will come into contact with a homeless individual or family on July 27th. Even if you do not come into contact with a homeless person, please complete and return the form.

If you do identify a homeless person or family on that day, please also indicate the area where the person was identified, (i.e. park, car, etc) so that we can identify those areas where the homeless may reside. If the homeless person was referred to a shelter, please make note of that as well.

I will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this form or the survey in general. Also, please feel free to add any comments you may have regarding homeless persons served or needs that exist.

Please return this form by Monday, August 8 either by e-mail, fax or mail (see contact information below)

Your participation in this survey is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Brent Wojnowski
