Census lays plans to ensure homeless people are counted

2010 Census 
The 2010 Census will be a count of everyone living in the United States, including people experiencing 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.
