Homeless Count – Point in Time Survey
Each winter HRDC leads the homeless persons count for Billings alongside the Yellowstone County Continuum of Care. In 2023, our volunteers interviewed more than 500 individuals experiencing homelessness. We do the survey in partnership with a host of other nonprofits and the City of Billings. During the survey, bags of food, hygiene products and hand warmers are given to the people we come into contact with.
Helping with the National Point in Time count is a coordinated effort to bring the struggles with homelessness to the attention of our community and bring resources to end this struggle. Sign up to help complete surveys and you can make a difference! A simple training is involved prior to the night of the count. To learn more contact us by email or call (406) 247-4732.

United Way Day of Caring at HRDC
The United Way Day of Caring at HRDC is a great way for volunteers to help HRDC tackle large and small projects that otherwise may not get accomplished. This unique service opportunity provides volunteers the chance to share their skills and creative spirit while making an impact on the services provided by HRDC.
