Help Address the Homelessness Crisis: Join the WeALLCount Survey

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: The San Diego River Park Foundation

RiverBlitz

WeALLCountis a one-day, statistically reliable, unduplicated count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals and families across the United States.

The San Diego River Park Foundation we will be participating by conducting a point-in-time census of people living without shelter along the San Diego River. The count provides a snapshot of who is homeless on a given night. This collected data is vital for addressing homelessness, as it helps organizations to plan programs, agencies to delegate funding, and policy makers to understand need.

SDRPF volunteers will work with in small teams to walk the along river and count unhoused individuals. Each team will have a leader and each team will walk an assigned River segment somewhere between Ocean Beach and Lakeside.

This early-morning event is a chance to get outdoors and make a difference. Start your work day with a bit of volunteering. Or, better yet, bring the whole office and give back together!

Only by knowing who, where, and how many people are experiencing homeless can we plan and identify the resources needed to best serve the most vulnerable, and ultimately move families and individuals into permanent housing. Join us to make a difference in the lives of homeless men, women, and children throughout San Diego by taking part in the homeless census.
