Homeless population canvassers needed

Emergency Services and Homeless Coalition Director, Debi Redding, needs Historic City News readers to help with the annual census of the homeless population in St Johns County.

The results of the Point in Time Count and Survey are the basis for future program design and critical to obtaining funding for the agency.

“It’s a huge undertaking to ensure a thorough count,” Redding told local Historic City News reporters. “We need 40-50 volunteers to assist us.”

The survey will be conducted on January 22nd at locations throughout the county — from Ponte Vedra Beach to Crescent Beach to Hastings to Fruit Cove.

Mandatory volunteer training will be held January 15th at noon at First United Methodist Church. Contact Debi Redding at 904-824-6623
