COVID-19 Spike Postpones Sacramento County Homeless Count Again

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Sacramento County's first homeless count in nearly three years has been postponed because of a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Ssacramento Steps Forward says the count is now set for late February.

It's used to apply for federal money for homeless services.

The last count was done in 2019. More than 5,500 people were found experiencing homelessness on a given night in that count.

Some 500 volunteers are still being sought for the planned February count.
