County homeless estimates split into sheltered and unsheltered components
(sheltered + unsheltered = total), long format. The county total is
the disaggregated estimate from homeless; it is split using the
shelter ratio of the county's dominant CoC (from the crosswalk
county_coc2019 and pit_coc). Join to county
geography by fips (e.g. counties or
sp_homeless); the same sheltered/unsheltered values are also
carried directly on sp_homeless as sheltered<yy> /
unsheltered<yy>. Note the 2021 unsheltered values reflect HUD's
COVID-19 unsheltered-count waiver.
