What does it mean to be literally homeless?

It means a man, women, veteran, elderly individual, child, or family are sleeping outside on park benches, in tents or campers, at local emergency shelters, in their car, or places that are not made to live in like a porch or shed.

There were 60 literally homeless people in Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Williams, Paulding and Van Wert Counties calling these types of places home at the 2018 national January Point in Time count. We'll take the new count this Tuesday.

Contact Susan Cheeseman at [email protected] for more information or to join in the efforts.
