Augusta Homeless Task Force prepares for P.I.T. count
BETHANY TRAPP with THE MARION BARNES CENTER SAYS THAT for the next 10 days TRAINED VOLUNTEERS WILL GO TO HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS AND RESOURCE CENTERS TO CONDUCT A SHORT SURVEY. “BASICALLY A SNAP SHOT OF THIS IS WHAT WE’RE SEEING ON THE STREET AS FAR AS HOW MANY FOLKS ARE REPORTING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT FOOD, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE OF COVID, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE OF A LOSS OF INCOME,” Trapp says.
