  1. if a person is homeless they have no address.therefore you can not find out how many homeless people there are in the u.s.a.


  2. According to the U.S. Census report called "Emergency and Transitional Shelter Population: 2000"

    1990: 178,638

    2000: 170,706

    (The census is only done every ten years.)

    Page 11 on the pdf report (source) breaks it down by state and region, if that helps.

    Best to you.

  3. It is an impossible assignment.  Homeless means they do not stay in one place, so how could you count.  The number fluctuates constantly.  Any numbers printed anywhere are only a guess.
