Tonight at 8 p.m. San Francisco volunteers will begin the city’s biennial count of its homeless residents. The survey will include the number of people living on the street, in shelters, and in other city funded programs. The last count of 6,377 was done in January of 2007.

The city is required to conduct this count every two years in order to receive federal assistance and uses the data collected to evaluate current programs.
