My friend Brian Himes (he’s a good guy, even though he doesn’t know how to correctly spell Bryan) is helping to run the 2011 Homeless Count in Los Angeles.
Groups of people will go out Jan. 25 – Jan. 27 from 8 pm to midnight to literally count the homeless in Los Angeles neighborhoods. This is extremely important. Here’s why:
“In 2009, we counted nearly 50,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County. Tabulating numbers is not the end goal – knowing who and where our homeless populations are allows us to target our resources more effectively to get people housed. The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is about building stronger communities where everyone is safe, secure and housed.”
Want to stand up for the hurting? Want to give a voice to the voiceless?
They are still in need of volunteers!
