Addressing homelessness is looking a little different in Thurston County these days.

The county, which includes Olympia, just became the fifth community in the nation to collect data on every single adult experiencing homelessness.

The county’s partner organization says that data includes the names and circumstances of each person counted. And the county vows to update the information monthly.

It’s part of a model called “Built for Zero”.

Guests:

Keylee Marineau, homeless response program manager at Thurston County's Office of Housing & Homeless Prevention
Garrett Grainger, Research Associate at Manchester Metropolitan University
