Augusta’s local Continuum of Care (CoC), also know as the Homeless Task Force, will hold a Point-in-Time (PIT) Count on January 22-31, 2024. The CoC solicits the help of volunteers across the CSRA to join in this effort to help survey Augusta’s homeless population. View the flyer for details.

The PIT count is the most comprehensive count for homeless populations who are currently sheltered and unsheltered across the country. Federal Law and Regulations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) requires all cities in America to produce an unduplicated count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a one-day point in time during the last 10 days of January. Information from more than 450 communities across America is then combined in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress (AHAR)

How do you plan to make the most of this season of recovery and preparation?

The first day of winter is approaching, and this quote is a great reminder to use winter as a time to slow down, reflect, and rejuvenate. Just like nature uses this time to rest and gather strength for spring, we too can embrace the winter season for self-care and self-improvement. It's a perfect opportunity to cozy up with a good book, set new goals, or simply spend quality time with loved ones by the fire.
