Monrovia Homeless Response Kit Is Now Available

MONROVIA, CA – The City of Monrovia has released the new "Homeless Response Kit: Resources to Prevent and End Homelessness" which contains a compilation of resources for Monrovia community members, a city press release said.

The Homeless Response Kit offers "practical resources that outline tangible ways in which individuals can help address homelessness issues," according to the city. These resources include information on the Coordinated Entry System, phone numbers for local service providers and tools for individuals to prevent and combat homelessness in Monrovia. The city will participate in the 2019 Point-In-Time Homeless Count on Tuesday, Jan. 22 coordinated by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.

Those interested in volunteering to help with the homeless count can pre-register online here. Anyone interested should arrive at the Monrovia Community Center (119 West Palm Avenue) at 8 p.m. on Jan. 22. A volunteer training and orientation session will begin at 8 p.m., and representatives from the City’s Public Services Department and Police Department will be on hand to address any questions and concerns. The actual count is expected to begin at 9 p.m.
