PIERRE — Tuesday, the South Dakota Housing for the Homeless Consortium, an affiliate of the South Dakota Housing Development Authority, will conduct its annual statewide homeless count.
“We are asking for volunteers to join others who are committed to ending homelessness to assist in conducting the count,” said Lisa Bondy, state coordinator for SDHHC.
Volunteers are trained, teamed up and given the supplies and information necessary to conduct the count in their neighborhoods, communities or counties.
The count is conducted by interacting with both service agencies and homeless individuals.
With the help of volunteers, SDHHC will continue to focus on reaching the more rural areas of the state.
SDHHC encourages anyone who is interested in participating in this effort to please contact one of the coordinators:
• Lisa Bondy, (605) 773-3445 or lisab@sdhda.org.
• Stacey Tieszen, Sioux Falls, (605) 367-4217, ext. 121, or stieszen@minnehahacounty.org
• Andrea Denke, Rapid City, (605) 545-7484 or adenke@cornerstonemission.org
