Called a "point-in-time" survey, the census effort looks for homeless people living on the streets and those checking into shelters and hospital emergency rooms and receiving other homeless services. The count of Baltimore's young homeless people, which is evaluated separately by the Center for Adolescent Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and is undertaken over a period of weeks instead of one day, has risen 135 percent since 2007, from 272 to 640. Rather than canvassing the streets for homeless youngsters, the effort relies on data provided by cooperating service providers, including the city public-schools system.| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306180352/http://citypaper.com/news/census-shows-striking-growth-in-baltimore-homelessness-1.1219779| archive-date=March 6, 2012}}</ref>
