The head of a local veterans group is disputing the latest government report about homelessness in Rhode Island.

Specifically, Operation Stand Down Rhode Island Executive Director Erik Wallin says the number of homeless veterans in the Ocean State is under-represented in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual Point-In-Time Estimates of Homelessness.

The recently released report says there are currently 95 homeless veterans in Rhode Island.

Wallin argues that number is much higher.
