Martha R. Burt, Laudan Y. Aron, Toby Douglas, Jesse Valente, Edgar Lee, Britta Iwen

As such, it provides an important baseline and foundation for future assessments of the nature and extent of homelessness. It also provides a valuable overview that will improve our understanding of the characteristics of homeless people who use services, the nature of homelessness, and how best to address it.
