Summit County Continuum of Care to Hold Annual Point In Time (PIT) Count - January 28    E very year, Summit County Continuum of Care members, in conjunction with HUD, coordinate with volunteers to count the homeless in Summit County. The Point In Time (PIT) Count takes place throughout the day on January 28, 2020.    “Summit County has a robust system of services and housing options for individuals who are homeless,” said Mar-quetta Boddie, Manager of the Summit County Continuum of Care. “The homeless people in our community are best served by the development and support of permanent housing solutions. Using the information we collect during the PIT Count, we can continue to offer those solutions.”    On January 28, volunteers will be at meal sites, the main library, and the metro station, while street outreach conducts walks through the streets, the woods, and encampments throughout the county to count each homeless individual. Volunteers will provide information on where to get help and how to connect with various resources. The information we collect during the PIT count, provides us the data we need to secure HUD funding which helps alleviate homelessness in our community.    For more information or to volunteer, contact Karen Jones at 330.983.4621 ext 174.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month Human trafficking happens everywhere, including Summit County. In addition to being a violent crime, human trafficking is a public health concern that impacts individuals, families, and entire communities across generations. It requires training and a response from communities, social service providers, health care providers, and other first responders. Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery. It occurs when a trafficker exploits an individual with force, fraud, or coercion to make them perform commercial sex or work.  Click here for 10 ways you can help end trafficking.
