What kind of data will the Cenus Bureau provide on people without housing?
For Census 2000, the Census Bureau will produce only one category showing the number of persons tabulated at “Emergency and transitional shelters.” The category will include people enumerated at: * Shelters with sleeping facilities, low-cost hotels and motels, and hotels/motels used by cities to house the homeless regardless of cost. * Shelters for abused women (only for persons who report no other usual home). * Transient sites, such as commercial campgrounds (only for persons who report no other usual home). * Maternity homes (only for persons who report no other usual home). People enumerated at soup kitchens, regularly scheduled mobile food vans, and targeted non-sheltered outdoor locations and Be Counted sites will be tabulated into the category called “Other noninstitutional group quarters population.
