poverty level , below 50% of the median income for the area,
and who have little savings . Estimates of the homeless
population should generally be based on known requests for
assistance from existing shelters , requests for emergency
shelter assistance made to state , federal and local agencies
and other private charitable organizations . The homeless may
include: homeless , neglected, and dependent children, street
people, abused persons who have left their home and abusers
with little money, little income , or persons with such low

that does not provide assistance on a long-term basis . These
shelters generally should not provide accommodations for more

generally should provide services that will sustain homeless
persons through a period of hardship.
