Annual Survey Finds 65 County Residents with No Stable Place to Sleep
This year’s “Point-In-Time” (PIT) count of persons without housing in San Juan County identified 65 people. 44 of those people, including children and disabled persons, who were living out of doors, in vehicles, or in abandoned buildings. The remaining 21 people were staying in temporary, unstable living arrangements, often with friends or family. The state mandated count was conducted on Thursday, January 23rd. Agencies not open on the day of the count were authorized to conduct the survey on their business day closest to January 23.
Count organizers and volunteers worked with local family resource centers, food banks, churches, healthcare providers, senior centers, libraries, the sheriff’s office, and many other community support service providers to conduct the count. The count was initiated by the State of Washington in 2005 (RCW43. 185C).
