14 <br /> • March 30-April 1 <br /> • In-person interviews with individuals using a paper form <br /> • Enumeration at Transitory Locations (ETL) <br /> • Hotels, motels, campgrounds surveyed in the fall <br /> • April 9-May 4. <br /> Todd McGee said people experiencing homelessness likely have been undercounted in <br /> the decennial census for decades. He said there are a number of ways that the 2020 Census <br /> will count people experiencing homelessness in the United States. He said the primary <br /> operations for counting people experiencing homelessness in the 2020 Census are the Service- <br /> Based Enumeration (SBE), which is part of the broader Group Quarters operation, and <br /> Enumeration at Transitory Locations (ETL). He said the SBE operation locate people at places <br /> where they receive services and at outdoor locations, including shelters and soup kitchens. The <br /> effort targets outdoor locations, including encampments and other locations where people sleep <br /> unsheltered. He said the SBE operation will run from March 30 through April 1, and during the <br /> SBE, census takers will conduct in-person interviews with individuals using a paper census <br /> form. <br /> Todd McGee said non-sheltered outdoor locations, which will be identified in advance, <br /> will be counted on April 1, 2020. He said the Census Bureau will identify service-based and <br /> outdoor locations through internet research, outreach to advocacy organizations, and outreach <br /> to elected officials of state, local, and tribal governments. He said ETL operations count people <br /> in transitory locations who do not have a stable home elsewhere, including people experiencing <br /> homelessness. Hotels, motels and campgrounds are included in this operation. Potential <br /> locations were identified in Fall 2019. <br /> Todd McGee said the ETL operation will take place from April 9 to May 4, 2020.13 <br /> Non- English Speaking <br /> • Census Bureau making information available in 12 languages. <br /> • Trusted community leaders <br /> • Schools <br /> Foreign Languages <br /> • Arabic <br /> • Chinese <br /> • French <br /> • Haitian Creole <br /> • Japanese <br /> • Korean <br /> • Polish <br /> • Portuguese <br /> • Russian <br /> • Spanish <br /> • Tagalong <br /> • Vietnamese <br /> • Burmese <br /> • Karen <br /> • Kinyarwanda (Swahili) <br />
