The Region is looking for volunteers to help measure homelessness in Niagara.

It's part of a coordinated effort to figure out the scope of the issue across the country.
The Point in Time Count will identify how many people in Niagara are experiencing homelessness in shelters, on the streets, or in transitional housing.
This data will be used to provide programs and services to prevent and reduce homelessness.
Niagara took part in the count in 2018 and 2016.
To learn more, or to sign-up, head to the Region's website.
