APPROVED WITH
CONDITIONS. HUD SHALL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO VERIFY THE RESULTS OF
THIS SURVEY WITH OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON THE HOMELE (e.g.
FEMA AND HHS.) EVALUATION OF THE ESTIMATES OF THE NUMBER OF
HOMELESS DEVELOPED BY OTHER SOURCES AND THE METHODOLOGY USED TO
OBTAIN THEM SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE REPORT. BASED ON THE
PROPOSED METHODOLOGY OF THE SURVEY, THE RESULTS SHOULD NOT BE USED
TO PRODUCE A SINGLE ESTIMATE OF THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS. INSTEAD,
HUD MAY USE THE DA OBTAINED FROM THIS SURVEY TO DEVELOP AN
ESTIMATED RANGE OF THE NUMBER HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS PROVIDED THE
SURVEY PRODUCES STATISTICALLY VALID SUPPORT FOR THE RANGE.

NATIONAL ESTIMATE OF THE NUMBER OF SHELTER USERS AND THEIR

OF THE PROBLEM, AS WELL AS THE EXTENT TO WHICH EXISTING HOUSING
FACILITIES MEET THE NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS.
