Homeless Census

Volunteers needed for the 2011 Tri-Jurisdictional (Atlanta, DeKalb Co., and Fulton Co.) Homeless Census on January 25, 2011The more we understand about homelessness, the more we can help homeless persons. The Metro Atlanta Homeless Census and Survey is a vital step towards ending homelessness in the area. The community can use the census information to understand better the needs of Metro Atlanta’s homeless population. For nearly a decade, hundreds of devoted volunteer enumerators have been an invaluable part of the homeless census by helping the Tri-J determine the number of homeless persons in Metro Atlanta. With just a few hours of service on a single night, volunteer enumerators perform one of the most important jobs of the entire homeless census. Over 400 volunteers will be needed to cover several hundred miles of street. No prior experience is required beyond the desire to help your community. Please contact Josie Parker with any questions or to register as a volunteer: josie.parker@pcni.org / 404-639-9933 x323.

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
