This is interesting. You're mentioning to me that you're realizing you would like to dig down deeper and get more of a sense of how many veterans you are dealing with on the streets.
Has it been suggested to you that when you talk with them, you don't ask them if they are a veteran, but rather if they have served, as a means of getting that information from them?
Apparently a lot of our veterans who are on the street either don't necessarily want to admit it or don't think of themselves as veterans.
