Volunteer opportunity for 2018 homelessness count

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

Count Us In for 2018 is asking for Bellevue volunteers. The purpose of the annual Point in Time (PIT) Count is to collect data on the needs of people experiencing homelessness throughout King County and the Greater Eastside. The count provides an excellent opportunity to increase awareness of homelessness and have an impact. A successful and accurate PIT Count is an essential component to informing the regional system response to the need in our community and to ultimately making homelessness rare, brief and one-time.

To sign up to participate as a volunteer, please fill out this short survey. More information is also available in All Home’s FAQ for Volunteers. The official count will take place on Jan. 26.
