## Resource

In this week's episode of Straight Talk, No B.S. with Matthew’s Hope, presented by Imagine Marketing, Pastor Scott and Shelley dig into the results from the Brevard Homeless Coalition’s 2026 Point in Time Count and fill in the rest of the story. Learn why it is impossible to accurately count the number of people experiencing homelessness at any one time, the various ways numbers can be interpreted, and how the statistics from the count compare with the real-world data that Matthew's Hope is dealing with each week. This discussion offers important context that fill in the gaps left by an inherently imperfect count. Each week, Pastor Scott, Shelley and guests share their experiences from operating a homeless outreach in Florida's Orange and Brevard Counties to raise awareness and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the homeless crisis in America today.
