Volunteers will count Brooklyn homeless
Call it a census of the homeless.
Every year, the New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS) sends volunteers out onto the streets to count the number of homeless people. The agency is once again undertaking a survey of the homeless on Monday, Jan. 28, and is looking for volunteers to assist in the effort.
The survey, officially called the Homeless Outreach Population Estimate, or HOPE, begins at 10:30 p.m. and ends at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 29.
