All across Los Angeles, every January,
we embark on a three-day mission
to count our homeless neighbors.
With your help, in January 2016 we conducted the largest homeless census in the nation. Together, more than 7500 volunteers counted 100 percent of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care’s census tracts and completed more than 5000 demographic surveys – a powerful demonstration of hands – on community engagement in the fight to end homelessness.
