Abstract

Counting the Homeless
Rorty, James | June 21, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

By the nature of their case homeless in the U.S. are difficult to count. They are not in a position to count themselves-our present highway and bread-line population is neither effectively organized nor effectively vocal. Homeless persons in this census included all destitute individuals living apart from their families. A transient homeless person is a detached and destitute individual who has not resided in the community long enough-usually one year's residence is required-to be eligible for relief. The adults and children shown above as members of families were all members of 3,155 transient families reported.
