Counting the homeless and making the homeless count

Caring volunteers will fan out across Washington tomorrow for the annual "point in time" count of the homeless. Gov. Gregoire has proclaimed Jan. 27 to be Homeless Awareness Day, and the House has adopted a resolution by Rep. Phyllis Gutiérrez Kenney to recognize the occasion.
The Community Development & Housing Committee, which is led by Rep. Kenney, will hold a special work session on "The Realities of Homelessness in Washington," at 10 a.m. in House Hearing Room C tomorrow, with special guests including nationally renowned expert Norm Suchar, a leader with the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Everyone can take part by tuning in to a live telecast and web cast of the Homeless Awareness Day event on TVW!
