Play a part in ending homelessness by joining city officials and volunteers in the 2013 Citywide Homeless Count, scheduled for Jan. 30 from 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
City officials are looking for volunteers to go from street to street, doorway to doorway and document who is sleeping without shelter and where. The annual count informs City Hall's homeless strategy, which has helped reduce the number of people sleeping on the streets by 34 percent from 2009-12.
To register as a volunteer, go online — smgov.net/portals/homelessness —or call (310) 458-8701.
