A supplementary count focusing on Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) aged 18-24, will be conducted on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 19.
The safety of all volunteers is a top priority, and to ensure their well-being, the Housing Department is collaborating with Pasadena Public Health, Police, and Fire Departments to implement comprehensive safety measures during the count.
Dan Davidson, Homeless Count Coordinator, expressed gratitude for the community’s support in light of the challenges posed by the fire. “In the midst of our current disaster, I’m so encouraged by the outpouring of love and support for our community, which I know will continue to spill over to our neighbors experiencing homelessness during the annual homeless count,” he said. “Though postponed, we will still be ready to conduct the survey and share our cold weather kits with neighbors in need.”
