2020 Homelessness Count

Date: Jan 23, 2020 at 9:00pm to Jan 24, 2020 at 3:00am
We will CTA there & Uber/Lyft back! The annual Point-In-Time Homeless Count provides the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) a “snapshot” of Chicago’s homeless population. Required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to be conducted on the street by HUD every two years, Chicago finds the data gathered annually is more useful to demonstrate the need for federal funding, service and resource planning, and to raise public awareness about homelessness. Volunteers are instrumental in participating on teams that canvass the entire city in a span of a few hours over the evening. Training and materials are provided that night.
