2018 Pasadena Homeless Count – January 23 & 24
The City of Pasadena needs 140 volunteers to help count men, women and children living on the streets in Pasadena. Help set in motion a year full of education, engagement and action for the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness. They Count, Will You? Click here to sign up today.
How it Works: Volunteers are sent in teams of 2-3 to an assigned zone on the night of Jan 23 (8-10 p.m.) & the morning of Jan 24 (6-8 a.m.). The same teams go out both times. Volunteers should be 18+ and must attend an orientation on Jan 17 or 18 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Why do we count persons experiencing homelessness?
The Office for Urban Initiatives at Fuller Theological Seminary, the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness, and the City of Pasadena conduct an annual homeless count to gather important data that is used to set policies and priorities in ending homelessness in Pasadena. The count also provides the necessary and required information for grants submitted to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for funding of local homeless services.
