Kayla stopped to talk to a man living on the street in Cape Coral. He didn’t want to be counted, but he did take her information she was handing out. The Point In Time count took place in Lee and Collier Counties. Volunteers walked the parking lots, woods, parks, and even set up a basecamp in areas they know the homeless will be at to get a count on the need in the area.
