Homeless to be counted on Weds Jan 24
A team of trained volunteers and Monmouth County employees will be in Asbury Park, Freehold, Keansburg and Red Bank on Wednesday, January 24 to conduct the County’s NJ Counts 2018 survey of citizens without a permanent residence and those at risk for becoming homeless. The point in time survey is part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual effort to get an accurate snapshot of the homeless in America.
The surveys will be conducted at the following locations:
· Asbury Park – Jersey Shore Rescue Mission, 701 Memorial Dr., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
· Freehold – New Beginnings Agape Christian Center, 133 Throckmorton St., 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
· Keansburg – St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Community Center, 247 Carr Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
· Red Bank – Pilgrim Baptist Church, 172 Shrewsbury Ave., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m
Those who participate will be offered food, clothing, and various services, including free health screenings and employment services. The Point in Time Survey will ask individuals where they spent the night of Jan. 23 and several other related questions to quantify the level of homelessness in the County and to help get people services that they need.
Monarch Housing Alliance, a non-profit organization whose mission is that every person have quality affordable, permanent housing that fosters freedom, independence and community integration, is coordinating NJ Counts 2018 throughout the state of NJ.
