Austin Texas USA, January 28 2023: Austin mayor Kirk Watson greets volunteers at St. Martin's Lutheran Church, where they gathered shortly after midnight to get instructions before heading outside to seek unsheltered people during the annual point-in-time homelessness count. Austin's Ending Community Homelessness Coalition organizes the PIT count, which helps federal, state and local governments allocate dollars to fight homelessness where there's the most need. ©Bob Daemmrich
