Volunteers are going to
soup kitchens, churches, motels, and hitting the streets to get an accurate
count of how many people are living without shelter.
The South Plains Homeless
Consortium will send their findings to the State who will then send it to the
Federal branch of Housing and Urban Development to determine if
Mary Guetersloh of the
South Plains Homeless Consortium said this is a national campaign but it starts
locally.
"It starts here with
us getting out and counting the folks, looking at what are they like? What is
it we can do to intervene in their plight?"
