From KERA:
On Jan. 25, hundreds of volunteers will descend onto Dallas and Collin County streets to count the number of people sleeping outside as part of the annual homeless “point-in-time” count, organized by the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance.
Organizers are hoping new technology will capture a more accurate and immediate picture of the region’s homeless crisis.
The new technology is an app called “Counting Us,” which volunteers will download onto their phones or tablets.
