STREET COUNT 2007


Janus Youth Programs partnered with other local agencies again this year to conduct Multnomah County's 2007 Street Count. The Street Count collects critical and confidential data about people living on the streets, in abandoned buildings, in vehicles, urban camps, and doorways. The information we collect provides the most accurate approximate number of people living outdoors in our area and enables service providers and funders to meet the needs of these people more effectively. Outreach Specialists and trained volunteers with Yellow Brick Road and PDX-O&E were out in the field night and day surveying people experiencing homelessness where they live.

We invite you to take a photo-tour of some of the sites and locations we visited while conducting the 2007 Street Count.
