January 9, 2023
On Jan. 27 the Red River Homeless Coalition will conduct a Point-In-Time Count for Lamar County. The count is a 24-hour period once a year where communities across the nation obtain a snapshot of those experiencing homelessness.
“On the day of the count, we’ll be conducting two separate counts. One will capture the total number of unsheltered individuals; those living on the street, their car, or another place not meant for habitation, while the second will capture sheltered individuals; those living in a homeless shelter,” stated Shelly Braziel, Executive Director – Lamar County Human Resource Council.
In order to ensure we capture the most accurate numbers, we are seeking volunteers to help canvas and set up a handful of pop-up sites. If you are interested in helping, you can email hrctexas.ed@gmail.com. We will also be having a planning meeting on Tuesday, Jan. at 2 p.m. City Square has graciously offered the use of their conference room, which is located at 2515 Bonham Street in Paris,” added Braziel.
