Volunteers

The Riverside County 2019 Homeless Youth Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is fast approaching. The Department of Public Social Services is looking for 500 youth friendly volunteers to help count and survey homeless youth ages 24 & under that are living on the streets throughout Riverside County. Operation SafeHouse will be assisting in all three days of the count and will use our Emergency Shelter as a departure location. This is open to any youth-friendly individuals, college group or clubs, faith-based organizations or agencies. If you know anyone who would like to participate in any of the following days, please have them complete the volunteer registration.

The multi-day street youth count is January 29th through January 31, 2019 from 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. each day.

* Volunteers must attend a training session where they will discuss important safety guidelines and learn how to us the Survey123 mobile application.

The PIT count & survey is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to:

Identify how many youth ages 24 and under who are homeless in Riverside County

Determine the need for youth homeless services

Guide decisions about how to use available resources

Every Volunteer must be registered!!

Information collected from the PIT count is required to continue receiving federal funding for homeless programs, to develop strategies to end youth homelessness, and to help homeless children and families in need.
