Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
Two strategies used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the efforts to strengthen the nation's efforts to reduce homelessness, including improvement in collecting prevalence data, are the CoC concept and the HMIS. The Census Bureau and Urban Institute study were historically used to collect data on the homeless population. Data collection improvements have been made since these studies were completed. The Department of Education uses the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program to collect data on homeless youth.
