Staff with the United Community Action Network along with volunteers, will conduct the annual Point in Time Homeless Count on Wednesday.
Organizers are attempting to count all people, both sheltered and unsheltered, that are experiencing homelessness during a 24-hour period. The count is being held at approximately two dozen locations in all parts of the county. Roving teams will cover other areas where they believe they will locate homeless people.
All locations will have some essential winter supplies including food, available. The Roseburg Dream Center will be serving a hot meal between 10:00 a.m. and 1:45 p.m.
A full list of locations is posted with our online story at www.541radio.com.
