OR 2010 Homeless Count: A Sad but Significant Tally
Chris Thomas, Salem-News.Com
January 24, 2010
This week, an army of volunteers visits shelters, food pantries, tent cities and even jails in an attempt to count the number of homeless people in every state. In the 2008 survey, Oregon topped the list for the highest per-capita number of homeless people, at just over one-half percent of the population. Tonight in Salem, about 100 people will attend an orientation to learn to do the surveys in Marion and Polk counties. Janeen Baker, who directs the Resource Assistance Program at the Salem YWCA, has seen a record turnout of volunteers - and says for many, assisting with the count will be an eye-opening experience.
