CHICAGO — The challenge of determining the number of people who are homeless has become even more difficult during the COVID-19 pandemic, advocates say.
Living under bridges, behind buildings or in remote wooded areas, or staying temporarily with friends or family, people who have no permanent home can become nearly invisible.
People like David Sorenson, a 60-year-old veteran, went uncounted despite being without a home on and off in Chicago’s suburbs for a couple of years before getting back on his feet.
