Volunteers Needed for the 2009 Homeless Count

The San Francisco 2009 Homeless Count needs volunteers. San Francisco’s next bi-annual count of homeless persons will take place on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 from 7pm to 12am. A one-hour training takes place from 7-8pm. The homeless count is a volunteer-driven, community-wide effort coordinated by the San Francisco Human Services Agency. Send e-mail to HomelessCount@sfgov.org or call (415) 558-2346.

San Francisco's efforts to count underprivileged people has inspired a global effort to count the estimated 1 billion people who live "off the grid."
