Volunteers needed in Queens
Volunteers Needed in Queens
Volunteers are still needed on Monday, February 27, 2006, to help the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) conduct its fourth annual Homeless Outreach Population Estimate (HOPE) to produce a point-in-time estimate of the unsheltered homeless population in New York City. Thousands of volunteers are needed to canvass parks, subways, and other public spaces to estimate the number of people living on City streets. One night of your time will help the City collect vital information used by outreach teams to help homeless people leave the streets for a better life. As of today, nearly 2,000 people have registered - DHS is now specifically looking for volunteers who are willing to participate in Queens.
Volunteers will meet at 10:30 PM on Monday, February 27, at training sites located throughout the five boroughs. After a brief orientation and training, teams will disperse to count unsheltered homeless individuals from midnight until 4 AM. Prior to the event, DHS staff will contact you with your meeting location.
To register, visit www.nyc.gov/dhs or simply call 311
