First National Homeless Census Counts 250K to 3M
The article reports the first national homeless census range from 250000 to over 3 million, with Syracuse Task Force citing 460 as the latest count. It notes a rise from 410 last year and a 36 percent jump since five years earlier, amid concerns of undercounting and political impact on federal aid and district boundaries. Enumerators work from shelters to streets, including Oxford Street Inn and various city blocks, while officials stress efforts to count as many homeless as possible.
