How does anyone really know how many are homeless? Does someone go to their home and interview them? Does someone go to shelters and count them? Is the number really accurate or just a guess being used as a means to get more money out of taxpayers?
How do they know how many miles mars is from earth or how many gallons of water go over Niagara falls every hour? Guessing advanced mathematics wasn't in your curriculum.
11:06-Explain please, what is "advanced mathematics" and exactly how it is used to count the homeless?
10:13-Yes, the methodology used is to literally count who in a shelter on a given day, or a given time period. Who aren't counted in a lot of areas, are the "unsheltered homeless", those most of us think as the true homeless and live in "tent cities," in vehicles, or on the street. The numbers aren't very accurate but due to the complexities (chronic homeless vs short term homelessness) and financial constraints it is the best method to date.
6:42, are you aware that since the government bastardized the definition of homeless, those living w/relatives or are in a situation where they are living in a motel room atmosphere are counted as homeless? The school systems keep track of this and it is used for funding.
According to the federal definition of homeless, those whose temporary living arrangements are paid for by the Federal, State or local government or a charitable organization are considered homeless. 10:13 has hit the nail on it's head. It's all about money. The government playbooks reads to expand a definition and it plays on the emotions of those above who are the uninformed and think homeless means exclusively those out in the streets. The more 'homeless' in a given area the more jobs created and justified for the government dept that handle this.

ReplyDeletebig "LIKE" for 1106. Whats a shame is that people like 1013 actually think they have informed opinions about issues such as climate change.
ReplyDelete11:06, I'm thinking that math and souls may not integrate on a statistical model.

How can someone be homeless and be interviewed at their home? LOL!
