Effort seeks volunteers to count, survey area homeless youth

The Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance Youth Committee is seeking volunteers to help conduct brief surveys to help determine the number of homeless youth in the city, an important step in helping end youth homelessness.

The effort will be conducted Jan. 31-Feb. 3 and Feb. 7-10. During the city's "See Us Now-Youth Survey," groups of volunteers led by agency staff and other youth-serving professionals will visit areas in Dallas and Collin counties to identify youth living on the street or in other unstable housing situations. By conducting brief surveys, we’ll be able to collect important data about the number of homeless youth in our city and what they need to grow and thrive.

To volunteer, email countusindallas@gmail.com to receive a link to register for one of the available outreach locations and times.
