Census and the homeless people


Listen Later

Hundreds of people living on the streets of Durban have been counted and surveyed in the start of the national census week. The count was done by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) volunteers in partnership with the Denis Hurley Centre.  According to centre director Raymond Perrier, they prepared a map for Stats SA, identifying homeless shelters and hotspots of where most homeless people congregate at night. Perrier said that Stats SA had admitted to the National Homeless Network that the homeless population was likely under-counted in previous censuses.
