Abstract

My research is on tourism and the homeless at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. It will look at the time period of the 1990s, and see what exactly happened in Virginia Beach and how it relates to homelessness. I decided on this because I took part in the Point-In-Time survey during HHS: 410 Homelessness in America winter session and found I had a great interest in the subject.
