Volunteers across the country recently set out to conduct a count of all homeless persons in their communities. It’s part of Housing and Urban Development’s annual point-in- time counts. In fact, HUD personnel themselves join in the overnight counting exercises. They’re designed to tally the number of people living in emergency shelters and transitional housing. Jennifer Ho is the HUD Secretary’s Senior Advisor on Housing and Services. On the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, she explained what the point-in-time counts accomplish.
