                                                      The annual Homeless Count is an essential component
                                                      in getting vital information that helps us provide an
                                                      accurate picture of the state of homelessness in
                                                      Los Angeles and deliver services where they are
                       most needed. It also increases general homelessness awareness with the public and
                       increases engagement with leaders, residents, and stakeholders.
                       Volunteering for the Homeless Count involves volunteers conducting a street count
                       within the community they select. This could include walking in an assigned area
                       and doing a visual count of people experiencing homelessness or driving and
                       conducting a visual count, and then entering it into a data collection app.
                       More in-depth information will be provided during the Homeless Count Volunteer
                       Trainings. All volunteers are required to attend one of the training Zoom sessions
                       (listed below) prior to the Count.
