Without further information, this is a fairly useless number. How many are mentally ill, Immigrants awaiting Asylum, addicts unable to access support services, looking for a job but can't get an employer to take them on without an address, same for renting. Veterans? Illegal Immigrants? just saying rough sleepers tells me nothing. Is it supposed to be shocking? A surprise?
