The city of Claremont recently stated its intention to participate in the 2013 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count in partnership with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.  The count will be held on Tuesday, January 29, 2013.  The City is currently recruiting volunteers to assist with this important community effort.  Volunteers will meet at the Joslyn Center at 8:00 p.m. the evening of the count to receive training, maps and materials, and their assignments.  Teams of 2 to 4 volunteers will then be deployed to count specific blocks within Claremont.  All Claremont routes will be counted from a private vehicle; therefore, no walking is required.
