The street count was organised by City University of Hong Kong (CityU)’s university-wide volunteer programme, the City-Youth Empowerment Project, together with community partners: Society for Community Organization, the Salvation Army, and St James’ Settlement. A few homeless individuals, H.O.P.E. HK volunteers and staff from CityU and community workers from the partners of H.O.P.E. HK will also share their findings at the conference.
