Additional context: In order to capture the number of homeless individuals and families staying in shelters and transitional
housing programs, shelter providers in the county completed an online survey of homeless individuals
and families who occupied their facility on the night of January 24, 2011.
In addition to the homeless census, an in-depth 32-question survey was administered in the weeks following
the street count to 674 sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in the City of San Jose.
The survey was
designed to yield qualitative data about the adult homeless population. Unaccompanied homeless children and
youth also took the adult survey, and answered an additional 28 question survey that asked about their specific
circumstances. A total of 152 unaccompanied homeless children and youth living in San Jose answered these
additional questions
