Butler County Local Housing Options conducts annual survey
BUTLER COUNTY (KDKA) - Overnight in Butler County volunteers were out looking to help those without a home.
Butler County Local Housing Options had teams out across the country to get a count of people sleeping in cars, in the woods, or anywhere outside.
They said they're checking places they know people may go, including areas with 24-hour businesses.
