Description of the Volunteer Opportunity: 

Every two years, the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness and Heading Home work together to coordinate Survey Week. Our goal is to count the current number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Albuquerque, and to learn more about their specific needs. In order to accomplish this goal, staff and volunteers go directly to the streets in order to find people staying outside. Surveyors also go to locations such as soup kitchens, day shelters, and overnight shelters.

Advocacy and Human Rights
Homeless and Housing
Veterans and Military Families
Great for: 
Adults
55+
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project: 

Survey Week helps us learn more about the specific individuals and families who are currently experiencing homelessness. With the information collected during Survey Week, we can clearly identify those most in need of supportive housing based on medical vulnerability and other factors.

No
Is This a Group Opportunity?: 
Yes
Minimum Age of Volunteers: 
18
Nonprofit Will Provide: 

All Survey Week volunteer activities are scheduled in advance. Early Morning Street Outreach commences in the pre-dawn hours. Surveyors are assigned to locations where people experiencing homelessness are likely to be, such as parks and underpasses. Services Site Surveying shifts will be scheduled at various times throughout the week and will take place at social service sites such as soup kitchens, day shelters, and overnight shelters. Each early morning outreach and service site will have a Team Leader who is experienced in working with the population we serve to provide guidance and information. The Albuquerque Police Department will also provide officers to accompany Surveyors during Early Morning Street Outreach in order to ensure the safety of our volunteers.
