In January 2017, Mendocino County conducted a bi-annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count. Volunteers were recruited to go out early in the morning to known homeless camps throughout the county to record and ask people questions for the count. They also went to homeless services such as Plowshares in Ukiah and Hospitality House in Fort Bragg. Any person answering the survey was given a $5.00 gift card from Safeway and volunteers were compensated for their time.
