Did I say it was the norm?

Quantifying living with other people as homeless is padding the numbers. You use the word 'overcrowded', but I don't see it anywhere in their documentation. That is not a prerequisite to being 'homeless,' according to the Advocates for Children of New York.

This is the Federally-mandated definition of "homeless" in the education context - it's not padding, it's the measurement that Congress told the states they had to use.
