What is expected of a Homeless Surveyor?
People interested in being a survey taker must be over 18 years old, and MUST attend a training session in January 2009 to learn about the survey, and about interviewing techniques. Surveyors should also be able to walk one to two miles unassisted. The survey process will begin on or about January 26th and continuing for a couple of weeks. Surveying involves interviewing homeless persons, both sheltered and unsheltered, in designated areas throughout Orange County to complete the survey. The survey includes approximately 35-45 questions, and takes about 20 minutes to complete. Completed surveys will be submitted to staff at the deployment centers.
