Homeless and Poverty

Hello All,

Does anyone have documentation discussing the homeless and poverty levels?  Are the homeless included in the "poverty universe?" Is it possible to identify homeless counts?  I am searching PUMS data and can also IPUMS data.

Specifically, I'm attempting to answer the question, "If the number of people in Washington state under 200% FPL is decreasing, why is the homeless population increasing?"  Yes, I understand there is not a direct correlation between homelessness and poverty...  but this is where I am starting.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Lorna
