Santa Barbara County looking for volunteers for annual Point in Time count

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Santa Barbara County is seeking volunteers for its 2022 Point In Time (PIT) Count taking place at the end of this month.

On Wednesday, Jan. 26 from 5:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m., PIT volunteers will help count individuals and families who experience homelessness in Santa Barbara County.

The County of Santa Barbara issued a COVID-19 Safety Measure for the 2022 Count as follows:

• Volunteers are encouraged to sign up in teams with people they already interact with (households, colleagues, friends)
• Individuals not part of a group will be matched in teams based on the comfort level indicated at sign up and must provide proof of vaccination.
• To avoid a large gathering, groups will be deployed as they arrive at their assigned logistics center.
• Masks and hand sanitizer are required (and will be provided to those who need it) to keep teams and those being surveyed safe.
