Statistical Information

The first source I found was from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD. The source I found was titled, The Anual Homeless Assesment Report to Congress. It is is the form of a book but it goes over topics of how many people are homeless and the use of homeless shelters and thier capacity. It also gives numerous statistics on these topics. It does give information on how the data was obtained.

The second source I found was from the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. The source was titled, Homeless Service Use in Minnesota. It gives statistics on how many people in Minnesota are homeless and how people are using Minnesota homeless shelters. The report states all the different sources it recieved its information throughout it.
