(The Point in Time Count Starts Friday)....It will continue Saturday.

It is the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council's attempt to count the homeless population in the Imperial Valley. Groups of volunteers will begin the count at 5:30 Friday morning. They will canvass the homeless population until 10 am Friday. They will pick-up the count Saturday at 9 am. The focus Saturday will be at Slab City. The purpose is to get an accurate estimate of the homeless population for various reasons including qualifying for grants to help the homeless population locally.
