A
Guide to Counting Unsheltered Homeless People (Revised)
This guide, published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and updated in September 2006, describes several methods for identifying, counting, and learning about homeless people who are unlikely to be found in shelters or in other residential programs within a local homeless assistance network. Information about these approaches was gathered from communities throughout the country; examples of their methods are provided throughout the guide.
