*Out and About*

*Volunteer for LAHSA Homeless Count*

lahsa [ [link removed] ]

Los Angeles County Homeless Services Authority thanks you for your ongoing support in the fight against homelessness. With your partnership, they have brought thousands of unhoused neighbors indoors, an effort that will intensify with the Board of Supervisors? recent declaration of a state of emergency.

There?s another way to help, and that is by joining fellow concerned and committed residents in volunteering for the 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count on January 24-26. This point-in-time census is essential to learning where people experiencing homelessness are located, trends among various populations, and other information that will enable us to deliver services where they are needed most.

Sign up to volunteer at www.theycountwillyou.org [ [link removed] ] and use this social media toolkit [ [link removed] ] to help us spread the word.
