Hope 2016 Street Survey
Volunteers are needed to assist the NYC Department of Homeless Services in conducting its annual Homeless Outreach Population Estimate (HOPE) on Monday, January 25, 2016.
Three thousand volunteers will help count the number of New Yorkers living on the City’s streets by canvassing parks, subways, and other public places. Training sites are located throughout the five boroughs, close to the survey area, usually in a neighborhood of the volunteer’s choice. Volunteers arrive at 10 p.m. at their respective sites, where they receive detailed orientation and training.
Employees interested in volunteering as surveyors should visit www.nyc.gov/hope to register. Volunteers assist from approximately 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. to help the City best project service needs and allocate resources for the street homeless population.
For additional information, or to register, go to www.nyc.gov/hope. NYCHA non-managerial volunteers may be credited with compensatory time for participating in the program.
