    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel research methodology for estimating the size and demographics of urban homeless populations.
    • To apply this method to the literal homeless population in Chicago.
    • To understand the characteristics of individuals experiencing homelessness.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a new research approach for population estimation.
