Counting roofless population in Tarragona: 9th November 2021. Would you like to volunteer?

The Xarxa d’Atenció Integral de Persones Sense Llar de Tarragona (Network for Homeless people in Tarragona) is leading, once again (after the ones in 2017 and 2019), the Point-in-Time Count of roofless people in Tarragona. It will take place the night of the 9th to the 10th of November 2021. These Countings are crucial to give dimension and to shape up the issue of homelessness in our city, consisting on one of the first steps to tackle this phenomenon.

The UNESCO Housing Chair is part of the Network for Homeless people in Tarragona and will be actively involved in this counting (as we already did the two previous ones).
