CENSUS
Happy Census Year! Please join Mayor Villaraigosa's Call to Action to
ensure that ALL people living in the SF Valley get counted in the
Census. 2010 is an important year, especially with these tough economic
times, and an accurate count will ensure that we get our fair share of
federal funds.
The Mayor's Office of Census 2010 is currently calling on all of our
community partners to join our planning efforts for March 2010 to
GET-OUT-THE-COUNT (GOTC) in the SF Valley. We will be dedicating a
month of service to the Census, and we can't do it without you.
Our next meeting will take place:
Wed, Feb. 3 @ 10:00 a.m.
Van Nuys State Building
6150 Van Nuys Blvd. (1st Floor auditorium)

BUDGET SURVEY
Please visit http://labudgetchallenge.lacity.org to take the LA Budget
Challenge. This is your chance to share your input on the City Budget
with the Mayor. This year's Budget survey is more informational and
more interactive than ever before.
CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM
The Mayor's Office of Homeland Security & Public Safety is recruiting
Crisis Response Team (CRT) members. CRT members are community
volunteers who respond to traumatic incidents at the request of the Los
Angeles Police and Fire Departments. CRT provides immediate on-scene
crisis intervention, attends to survival and comfort needs, acts as a
liaison between the victim and emergency personnel, and gives referrals
to victims and their families affected by death, serious injury, violent
crimes, and other traumatic incidents.
Training will take place Tuesday and Thursday evenings from Feb. 2 -
Mar. 25 at the L.A. Police Academy in Westchester.
Please submit resume to Jeffrey Zimerman, M.S.W. and CRT Manager, at
