TYLER, Texas — Every year, the East Texas Human Needs Network goes out into the Tyler community for its "Point in Time Homeless Survey and Count". The goal is to identify those without homes to use the data collected to design, fund and implement programs for better resources.
Tyler Russell, a student at the University of Texas at Tyler, had never volunteered with the nonprofit before, but when he learned they would be meeting with individuals or families without homes, he knew he wanted to help out.
