Show Notes

The annual count of people experiencing homelessness took place in Northwest Arkansas on Friday, Jan. 27. The count is meant to gauge how many residents are experiencing homelessness in the region during a 24-hour period.

Who conducts the count, how do they do it and why is it important? Debbie Martin from the NWA Continuum of Care tells us about it in this week’s Know the News podcast.
