Queue Management: How to Reduce Wait Lines at Soup Kitchens and Homeless Service Agencies

This Week in Homelessness with Daniel McDonald

On this week's episode:

• A recap of our Point-in-Time count (homeless census), with a shout-out to my police colleagues, and how we share encampment data with volunteer surveyors.
  
• How the science of queue (line) management can reduce waiting times at soup kitchens, homeless agencies and other organizations that serve the homeless. This is the same science used by airlines and restaurants to reduce wait times, along with my low-tech (and free) ideas for implementing at your organization.

Links I mentioned:

• Volunteers Counting Tampa's Homeless Thursday
• Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative (THHI)
• An introduction to queue management
