The company, now named Karma Automotive, built a new 555,670 square-foot-factory in Moreno Valley, assembled a team, and began producing Karma Revero, a plug-in hybrid that Karma says can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. Former GM Chairman Bob Lutz praised the Karma as one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.

People from all walks of life, including college students, nonprofit organizations, faith based institutions, business and neighborhood groups, and current or former homeless people, are encouraged to sign up to volunteer to assist with the count.
The 2017 Riverside County Point-in-Time Homeless Count will be held from 5:30-9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 24. The annual effort also surveys homeless people throughout the region.
