Each year, volunteers help count and survey people experiencing homelessness who are living on the streets of Pasadena during a single night the last week in January. The Homeless Count provides meaningful data to further the City’s understanding of our local homeless population and to inform resource allocation for services and programs.
Volunteer teams of 3 – 4 people each will disperse to assigned zones on the night of Tuesday, January 25 (8 – 10 pm) and the morning of Wednesday, January 26 (6 – 8 am), to count and administer a survey to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Volunteers will also distribute hygiene kits while conducting the survey.
All volunteers are required to participate in both shifts, and the same teams will go out together in the evening and the morning. Volunteers will attend an online orientation to prepare for the count on either January 18 or 19, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and must show proof of COVID vaccination or of a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of the Homeless Count. All local COVID-19 safety guidelines will be followed for the safety of our unhoused neighbors and volunteers.
Volunteer registration is open now through January 7, 2022 at pasadenapartnership.org.
