744,000 homeless in U.S. according to first estimate in 10 years
Study: 744,000 homeless in U.S. according to first estimate in 10 years
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press Writer

(AP) - WASHINGTON-There were 744,000 homeless people in the United States in 2005, according to the first national estimate in a decade.

A little more than half were living in shelters, and nearly a quarter were chronically homeless, according to the report Wednesday by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, an advocacy group.

A majority of the homeless were single adults, but about 41 percent were in families, the report said.

2. That number is artificially LOW--guaranteed.
I wasn't counted.

I can guarantee that many others weren't, also.
