Americas disappeared: The homeless of the big cities
First off, I hope this is in the right place.
I found this interesting, and thought I would post it here for all to read, and maybe do some more research.
From the Online Journal:

San Francisco
... more than 1,000 others have disappeared from its welfare rolls – and the Department of Human Services, which administers the program, has no idea where they've gone.
Los Angeles
Skid Row is missing 705 homeless people, according to a recent head count by the Los Angeles Police Department
Central Division Officers found that the number of homeless people dropped from 1,876
on Sept. 18 to 1,171 six weeks later.
Last Wednesday, there was a noticeable change on Skid Row. On a warm afternoon, the number of homeless encampments and people walking the street appeared to have declined.
Sacramento
In Sacramento a few months ago, Union Pacific went and got a court order to throw out the homeless on their property, but when they showed up to throw 'em out, they were already gone....Funny thing is (well, not funny, but weird), is that they LEFT ALL THEIR STUFF. Now, a normal, uninformed person would say, "hey, they were in a hurry, and just left their stuff in the excitement."
Well, have you ever met a homeless person? THEY NEVER LEAVE THEIR STUFF. ANYWHERE. Their "stuff" (shopping carts filled with garbage, their tents, their blankets) is
THEIR LIFE. That's like us abandoning our children or something.
"And you'd think that, with such a huge influx of people and wealth, panhandlers would be all over the place trying to get
as much money from the delegates, press, staff, and politicians as they possibly could. But they aren't there. They're not
just invisible, they're actually gone."
