/* SHORT TITLE: Note on Data */ This is the only information EDS has on this study, other than variable labels and value labels that are in the Spss .sav file. This information came from: http://www.futureofchildren.org/information2827/information_show.htm?doc_id=73319 HUD surveyed a probability sample of 205 managers of shelters for the homeless in counties with populations over 25,000, asking, "Among the people you served on an average night this year, how many would you say had been homeless for more than three years and how many had been homeless for less than three months?" The shelter operators reported that about 70% of the clients in shelters serving primarily families with children had been homeless for less than three months. By contrast, shelters serving primarily unaccompanied men reported that only 32% of their clients had been homeless for less than three months. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The 1988 National Survey of Shelters for the Homeless. Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1989, pp. 15-16. Shelters are considered to serve primarily one group when at least 75% of their clientele are in that group.
