The biggest waste of money by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development has to be the annual count of homeless people. We always
equate this with counting a gumball machine full of Skittles as you pour
them out onto the floor. The first question for both is "why?" Why
would you want to count the colorful Skittles while they are falling on
to the floor and are still in motion? And why would you count homeless
people on one day as they traveled around the city? The second
question is how valid is a count in which untrained volunteers drive
around trying to play this game of "is that guy a homeless guy sleeping
or a pile of clothing?" NEOCH never wastes its time with this silly
undertaking in late January or February.
