less visible in New York, and other cities around the nation, that does not mean they are not there. How many homeless people are there in America today? Unfortunately, efforts
to count the homeless have been impossible (Larson, 1996). Some researchers, in 1996, estimated that the number of homeless Americans was 500,000 or 600,000 (1996, p.14). The Census Bureau came

since the Great Depression, which is that significant numbers of New Yorkers had begun to sleep in the streets and public places ("Modern," 2002). Modern mass homelessness had become dramatically
worse in subsequent years, especially during the early-1980s recession (2002). Yet, even in the late 1970s, early signs of the growing affordable housing shortage was found in the
great number of homeless men and women who found themselves sleeping in parks, in transportation terminals and out on the streets (2002). While the problem may be something
