Find homeless living outside - Number of people found
Often surveyors will be sent to an area where people "know" there are
homeless persons, and a few or no people are actually found
May be because of the time of the year, or may be a mis-perception of
extent of the problem in a particular area
Counts in areas where no one is found are a success, because it allows
you to defend the count methodology; critics can't say "there are
2,000" homeless, when you only counted 700
If people are critical of the completeness of the count, give them a
pile of forms and ask them to find the homeless (depends on use of
identifiers)
