the estimated 500,000 veterans who will become homeless at some point this year

Oh Bull. Where does this number come from? Who's number is this? I don't believe it, either that or I'm "homeless" right now because I'm not in my own living room at the moment.

They must be elasticizing the definition to include brief transition periods when they leave the service and live with a relative until they find their own place. Otherwise we whould have 30 million homeless vets since WWII.
