- Opportunity Description:
-
The night will begin with a Q&A session at the Westwood Presbyterian Church, where volunteers will be able to ask questions about the required online training session. Community representatives will speak, and groups will be created and sent to different areas of Westwood.
Each team will consist of around four volunteers and will be given flashlights and high-visibility vests if desired.
Volunteers will use an app called ArcGIS QuickCapture to tally the number of people experiencing homelessness they see, which was used for the second time last year.
There will be a meal, snacks and other refreshments available for volunteers.
The count is important in ensuring politicians can advocate for their community in getting additional resources. Having these numbers gives a base data point for LA elected officials, congress members, senators, state assembly and Senate members to go and advocate to the federal government for more resources in Los Angeles. - Website:
