The document discusses Orange County's Point-in-Time Count that takes place on January 24, 2015. The count is a snapshot of homelessness in the county that is required by HUD to receive $16 million in annual funding. Approximately 1,500 volunteers will canvas areas identified as places where people experiencing homelessness sleep outdoors or in places not meant for habitation, to obtain numbers and information about the literal homeless population through surveys. The data collected is analyzed and reported to HUD, elected officials, and organizations that help the homeless.
