MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Continuum of Care is planning to count the city's homeless population Wednesday night.
The city's goal is to get "an accurate representation of how many people experience homelessness on a single night in Milwaukee County." Last year, 885 people were counted as being homeless in the city.
Anyone experiencing homelessness should go to a warming room to seek shelter and they will be counted. Those who attend will be in contact with street outreach teams, 211 services, and receive items for basic needs, such as winter clothing and hygiene products.
Warming rooms will be open at the following locations on Wednesday, January 22:
