MODERATORS
Decisions are made on the basis of the numbers in studies, not on the basis of "it sure feels like there 27% more homeless people this year." Accurate data are essential. It is very difficult to take a census of the homeless population. Recent efforts with new methodologies improved our view considerably, and though they still undercount, represent a meaningful step to improving the situation.
