| In order to gain a better understanding of the current homeless population, and to apply for federal funding for homeless programs, the City of San Jose worked in conjunction with Santa Clara County and Applied Survey Research (ASR) to conduct the 2009 Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey. The 2009 Santa Clara County Homeless Census took place during the early mornings of January 26-27, 2009. The census had two components: a street count – a point-in-time enumeration of unsheltered homeless people; and a shelter and institution count – a point-in-time enumeration of sheltered homeless people. |
