Despite subzero temperatures throughout the state, Denver metro counties are preparing to conduct their annual point-in-time counts for unhoused people. via MicahSmith_TV
The annual count helps the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development determine how much funding service providers will receive to serve those in need.
“I don't know if, in terms of funding, if it changes anything directly. I think HUD generally looks at the overall number of people that are unhoused, and if that's increasing, then you're demonstrating a need for increased resources,” she said. In Jefferson County, Recovery Works, a day center and respite shelter, will serve as a place where volunteers can gather and pickup care packages for the unhoused people who are counted.
“It's been busy… we can see anywhere from 50 people a day,” Anderson said. “We probably have about 75 to 80 people right now.”
