Correction: Homeless Veterans

.: Ads Supporting Us :.

(11-19) 09:49 PST WASHINGTON (AP) –

In a Nov. 7 story about homeless veterans, The Associated Press, relying on figures from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, gave an incorrect estimate of 495,400 veterans who were homeless at some point during 2006.

Lowering its estimate, the alliance now says that 336,627 veterans were homeless at some point last year.

The report’s overall finding that one in four homeless people in the United States are veterans remains accurate.

The newly corrected claim is that 1.3% of the vet population is homeless. And, from the last paragraph, that 1.3 million Americans were homeless at some point in 2006.

Soon to be corrected again?
