Description

This report provides information on people counted at emergency and transitional shelters (with sleeping facilities) for people experiencing homelessness in 2010. In the 2010 Census, emergency and transitional shelters were defined as places where people experiencing homelessness stay overnight. Examples include missions; hotels and motels used to shelter people experiencing homelessness; shelters for children who are runaways, neglected or experiencing homelessness; and similar places known to shelter people experiencing homelessness.The emergency and transitional shelter population is one of many types that make up the total group quarters population. People in emergency and transitional shelters were enumerated in the 2010 Census as part of the Service-Based Enumeration Operation, which also included enumeration at soup kitchens, regularly scheduled mobile food vans and targeted nonsheltered outdoor locations. This special report presents statistics for people enumerated at emergency and transitional shelters only, and should not be considered a count of the entire population experiencing homelessness. Tables and figures.
