    Description

    The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is the annual census that counts our neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Through the Count, we’re better able to direct and advocate for vital services to support the needs of our unhoused neighbors.

    The Downtown Women's Center will be a deployment site for the count on Tuesday, January 20th from about 7pm-11:00pm, and we need your help!

    Volunteer roles include:

    • Counter: The person designated to enter the number of people and dwellings in the Homeless Count App
    • Navigator: Guides the group to ensure the correct location is counted and covers every street of the assigned area
    • Driver: Drives the team safely; if the assigned area is small and the group prefers to stay on foot, then this person doubles as a backup counter/navigator

    Get involved! Get more info and sign up to count with the Downtown Women's Center at: https://volunteer.bloomerang.co/JE/83nbpbm0eiinr9

    Please Note: Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
