Sacramento Steps Forward still needs about 100 volunteers for its upcoming two-day Point-In-Time count, which documents the number of people who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Sacramento later this month.
The organization relies on at least 700 volunteers to do this work, said Lisa Bates, CEO of Sacramento Steps Forward.
From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Wednesday Jan. 24 and Thursday Jan. 25, PIT volunteers will be deployed to help count people who are homeless across Sacramento County. The main deployment site will be at the Alumni Center at Sacramento State. Other surrounding cities involved in the count include Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights and Folsom.
