People experiencing homelessness live in a variety of situations, such as temporarily staying with family or friends, living outside or living at a shelter. The 2020 Census has procedures to count people living in all of these situations. For example, people without a usual place to live who are temporarily staying with family or friends should be included in that household’s response.

The 2020 Census has procedures that count people outdoors, where they receive services, and at other locations where they are known to sleep.
