Abstract:

In January 2007, a team organized by the Indiana University Center for Health Policy (CHP) undertook a citywide count of the homeless in the Indianapolis community. This issue brief discusses the findings and details of that count and thoughts for policymakers who are interested in improving the effectiveness of services for this group.
