Point-in-Time Count in January
The Confederated Tribes Point-
in-Time Count is a calculation of
the local population who are
experiencing homelessness. The
Point-in-Time Count team will host
the next session from 9 a.m. to 7
p.m. on Wednesday, January 29 at
the Family Resource Center.
Results of the count help with
the allocation of resources. Data
from the annual Point-in-Time
surveys lead to a baseline count
of those in the community who
are ‘precariously housed.’ All are
invited to attend the January 29
session.
There will be collection of the
data, plus outreach, assistance and
distribution of care items.
According to findings of the
2019 Point-in-Time Count, there
has been an increase in the
number of precariously housed
among tribal members over the
past three years.
The Point-in-Time Count team
work with the tribal Health and
Human Services Branch, with
other volunteers.
Regarding the people who are
asked to participate in the

upcoming Count:
‘Homeless’ does not necessarily
mean the person is without shelter.
If a person is without any shelter,
then he or she is considered
“Literally Homeless.” Another
category is “Precariously Housed,”
and another, “Sheltered.” A person
can be considered homeless if the
person is living with family or
friends, or at a shelter, without a
place of their own, for instance.

The beginning of the year brought significant water damage
to the Kah-Nee-Ta lodge. Insurance assessors were at the re-
sort this week, making a cost estimate of the damage, said Dan
Martinez, director of tribal Emergency Management.
The tribes’ insurance carries a deductible, as a matter of
course; so there will be a cost to the organization.
On January 2 a security team checked on the lodge, finding
standing water on the main floor and in the lower floor offices,
Mr. Martinez said.
They found the source of the water: A toilet in a restroom
on the upper floor was running, spilling over and draining through
the walls to the main floor and lower floor offices. Besides the
structural damage, the water got into electrical units and down-
stairs computers.
The tribal workers removed the carpet and furniture that
was soaked, filling an industrial sized dumpster.
