Does the Department accept that what we are hearing is bizarre? It is absolutely awful. The Department counts the adults leaving homelessness. Generally, the ratio of those people in homelessness is 2:1, adults to children. Approximately one third of those who are homeless are children. Roughly 3,000 of the 9,000 are children. The 9,800 figure includes children. Is that correct?
