EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Teams are working to tackle Evansville’s annual point-in-time count of homelessness.
Efforts began Wednesday evening in the gymnasium of the CK Newsome Center, which serves as an emergency shelter during freezing weather.
However, the benefits were two-fold.
“It makes this effort a lot easier,” Aurora’s Executive Director Zac Heronemus shared. “However, we still have a long time to go tonight getting out tonight in the nooks and crannies where our outreach team knows a lot of folks are out on the street.”
