2011 census to include homeless

The Czech Statistical Office has said it plans to include homeless people in its next census. The head of the office Stanislav Drapal said there had never been any previous attempt to collect information about the country’s homeless people mainly due to the difficulties it would involve. He said the census of homeless people would be undertaken with the help of street workers and charities who had agreed to cooperate. The next census is due in March of 2011.
