We need YOU to help support the 2020 Homeless Count in Fort St. John!
Following the 2018 Report on Homeless Counts in BC, Homeless Counts are taking place in a concerted effort in communities across the province in 2020. Homeless counts provide important information on the
estimated number, key demographics and service provision needs of those experiencing homelessness, both in Fort St. John and across the province.
We are seeking your help to conduct the count in Fort St. John.
This involves attending a training session and conducting a brief anonymous survey with people who are experiencing homelessness during the count.
The count takes place on 11th March 2020, and training will be 27th February 3pm or 6pm (You must be available to attend one of these two training sessions).
We are looking for people who:
Are compassionate, accepting, and comfortable with one-on-one conversations.
Have a friendly, non-judgmental attitude and a good sense of humour.
Are 19 years of age or older and younger than 70 years of age (to meet insurance
requirements).
