(Fox News) - A government report due out today shows that the number of chronically homeless adults fell 12 percent during 2005.
The Housing and Urban Development survey of 3,900 cities and counties showed a figure of almost 176,000 chronically homeless in January of 2005 — and fewer than 156,000 one year later.
A researcher at the University of Pennsylvania calls it "a proud moment". But the executive director of The National Coalition for the Homeless says he's skeptical of the numbers — insisting it is almost impossible to count homeless people.
