The census not only provides a portrait of homelessness in the city, but it's used to determine the condition and needs of the homeless so that agencies and advocates can better plan how to target services for the next two years. This year, HUD will provide more than $10 million for a variety of programs aimed at preventing homelessness and helping the homeless locally.
The results of previous Milwaukee Point-in-Time count in 2009 can be found here, which showed a 13% increase from 2007. It is likely the new count will show a significant increase again.
