Family Promise reports full capacity as Carbon County shelter partners review point-in-time numbers
Summary
Family Promise said its shelter is full (29 people) and coalition members reviewed preliminary point-in-time counts and cold-weather shelter impacts, noting similar overall totals year-over-year when cold-weather shelter usage is included.
Family Promise told the Carbon County Housing Coalition on an online meeting that its shelter is at capacity and that partners are coordinating services and warm-weather planning.
“Family Promise is at full capacity right now. We have 29 total individuals, 11 adults, 18 children,” a Family Promise representative said during the meeting, adding the group is planning warming-shelter operations, drop-in case management and community meals at the Durie Family Community Resource Center.
Coalition members also reviewed preliminary results from the Eastern Continuum of Care’s point-in-time (PIT) report for 2025 covering 33 counties. Action-committee members said they compared local survey results with the regional figures and removed several duplicate counts tied to the cold-weather shelter. The coalition discussed a street-count total of roughly 11 households (13 people) in the PV area during this year’s street count compared with 19 households (21 people) in 2024; speakers said adding cold-weather shelter numbers made the overall totals “very similar” to last year.
Janet, an action committee member, said the committee is tracking local data and will circulate the Eastern CoC dashboard link to coalition members. She noted the committee removed three duplicate entries and is clarifying which transitional-house entries represent cold-weather shelter stays.
The coalition briefly discussed encampments and the effect of warm weather on people sleeping outdoors; a Carbon County commissioner’s office representative, Val, said county commissioners were at an economic summit and did not have a report for the meeting. Members credited the cold-weather shelter with reducing unsheltered counts in parts of the county.
Coalition members encouraged sharing PIT dashboard access so local service providers can reconcile local survey counts with the regional database and better track cold-weather shelter reporting.
The meeting closed its shelter-report segment with plans to circulate the PIT dashboard link and to continue coordination with county and borough partners on outreach and warming-shelter planning.
