This story about a forum of homeless community college students in Silicon Valley is insane.http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-homeless-students-ask-community-officials-to-stop-stigmatizing-them …
Looks like the community college data originates from here: https://hope4college.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/RealCollege-CCCCO-Report.pdf …

there is a lot of churn generally in SF's homeless population. The number
@JeffKositsky likes to cite is that the city dept. takes 50 people off the streets every week, but then 150 more people become newly (or recurring) homeless at the same time. -
In SF, there's 7-8K on any given night through point-in-time counts from 2017/19, but service providers would say they touch probably 20K people throughout a given year. The city also has 6,000 permanent supportive housing units for people who would otherwise be homeless.
