New Orleans' Homeless

Many people are concern about the present homeless condition in New Orleans. Some of the homeless are transplants from other states who arrived in The Big Easy after Hurricane Katrina with hopes of finding employment. After the hurricane, I met several people traveling to New Orleans with hopes that they would somehow find any type of employment with the rebuilding efforts.

Of the estimated 12,000 homeless in New Orleans, I wonder how many are transients from other states.
