Census lays plans to ensure homeless people
are
counted
The 2010 Census will
be a count of everyone living in the United

homelessness. If you are a provider of services to
persons experiencing homelessness in your
community, your organization may already be
actively involved in planning for the 2010
Census. If you are not yet involved we
encourage you to contact your regional census
office.
