The U.S. Census Bureau does not produce counts of the population experiencing homelessness. However, special procedures were developed to ensure the Census 2000 included people without conventional housing, who may be missed in the traditional enumeration of housing units and group quarters.
These special procedures included counting people living at emergency and transitional shelters, receiving services at facilities providing free meals, as well as people staying at identifiable outdoor locations. Thus, these special procedures were designed to include in the overall population count people who might otherwise be missed during our regular enumeration.
