Authors

The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonpartisan, mission-driven organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United States. The Alliance works collaboratively with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to build state and local capacity, leading to stronger programs and policies that help communities achieve their goal of ending homelessness. Guiding our work is A Plan, Not a Dream: How to End Homelessness in Ten Years. This plan identifies our nation’s challenges in addressing the problem and lays out practical steps our nation can take to change its present course and truly end homelessness within 10 years.

The Homelessness Research Institute, the research and education arm of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, works to end homelessness by building and disseminating knowledge that drives policy change. The goals of the Institute are to build the intellectual capital around solutions to homelessness; to advance data and research to ensure that policymakers, practitioners, and the caring public have the best information about trends in homelessness and emerging solutions; and to engage the media to ensure intelligent reporting on the issue of homelessness.

PrefaceA WORD ABOUTTHE RECENT ECONOMIC CRISIS

This report analyzes homeless count data collected in January 2007 and comparesthose data to homeless counts collected in January 2005. The report reveals that

some progress has been made toward ending homelessness nationally and in individualstates, as well as among homeless subpopulations. These data represent the most recentcomprehensive homeless counts. The progress documented in this report occurred dur-ing a time of both relative economic stability and increased commitment by states andcommunities toward ending homelessness.

Now, the circumstances surrounding the United States and global economies, including ele-ments known to impact homelessness, have changed dramatically. Problems in the hous-ing and mortgage markets have led to a national recession and global economic crisis.Recent economic indicators are projecting increases in unemployment and poverty rates1.If these projections are realized, they will undoubtedly lead to increases in the number ofhomeless households and households at risk of homelessness. Already, there are reports inthe national news of increasing utilization of homeless services by individuals and families.Unfortunately, the economic crisis poses a threat to the local governments and nonprofitsthat are attempting to respond to this increasing demand for homelessness services.

The next count will occur at the end of January 2009 and will provide a clearer picture ofhow the current crisis has affected the number of people who experience homelessness.In the meantime, this report provides the best possible assessment of national trends inhomelessness and provides a useful backdrop for interpreting the new counts.

The Movement to End HomelessnessIn 2000, the National Alliance to End Homelessness released the report A Plan, Not a

Dream: How to End Homelessness in Ten Years, and in 2003 the federal government

challenged communities to create plans to end chronic homelessness. Since that timeover 300 communities have taken up that challenge, and more than 220 have completedtheir plans to end homelessness. The majority of these communities did not limit theirgoals to eradicating chronic homelessness, but instead established plans to end home-lessness in all of its forms. To this expanded end, many communities outlined strategiesto address the unique issues associated with various subpopulations such as families, eld-erly, veterans, youth, and ex-offenders.2

While there are still far too many people without permanent housing in the United States,the movement to end homelessness is making progress. Hundreds of communities areretooling their homeless assistance systems using Housing First approaches and are execut-ing their local plans to end homelessness. At the federal level, the U.S. Department of Hous-ing and Urban Development (HUD) is targeting resources to permanent housing, and bothCongress and the Executive Branch have made commitments to end chronic homelessness.The HUD homeless programs have funded operating costs for 60,000 new units of perma-nent supportive housing for homeless people with disabilities, out of the 150,000 needed.

Importantly, for the first time in the history of our national homelessness problem, thereare data available to estimate changes in homelessness over time. While these data, col-lected by communities from across the country, have numerous limitations and shouldbe taken as estimates, rather than a precise census, they reveal a 10 percent declinenationally in homelessness from 2005 to 2007 and larger percentage declines among fam-ilies and chronically homeless adults. These overall and subpopulation declines are likelythe result of real progress in helping homeless individuals and families get back into hous-ing, but are also affected by changes in data collection methods. Although there is stillmuch work ahead, we should view these declines as early progress.

Measuring ProgressIn 2007, the National Alliance to End Homelessness released Homelessness Counts,3 a

study that analyzed local data and created a national estimate of homelessness in theUnited States. The report laid the groundwork for measuring efforts to end homelessnessby establishing a baseline number of homeless people from which to monitor changes.Measuring progress is important because it helps policymakers to understand the scope ofthe problem, to identify communities that are showing results and those that are fallingbehind, and to identify those interventions that are working to end homelessness. Thisreport is a follow-up to Homelessness Counts, which used data collected in 2005. Here weanalyze changes in homelessness from 2005 to 2007, looking more closely at changes atthe state level and among homeless subpopulations. This report focuses on community

point-in-time counts because only these counts cover all states and territories and on theyears 2005 and 2007 because all of the Continuums of Care (CoCs), the local or regionalbodies that coordinate funding and services for homeless people, completed homeless-ness counts in those years. The period from 2005 to 2007 marks the first time in the his-tory of homelessness that we can estimate nationwide changes in the homeless population.

The estimates included in this report, a tabulation of local point-in-time counts collectedby CoCs across the country, are adjusted for data summary errors, inaccurate outliers, anddata omissions.4 While these data have numerous limitations and caveats, includingchanges in data collection methods from 2005 to 2007 and increases in coverage (seeAppendix A), they are the best available at this time. Moving forward, policymakersshould continue to invest in technical assistance to help communities improve their localpoint-in-time counts and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data. Andpolicymakers should continue to use the data, which will lead to more accountability andimproved data collection methods. Ultimately, better data will lead to a more compre-hensive understanding of the homelessness problem and its solutions and assist policy-makers in focusing on those solutions.

The national picture of decreased homelessness over the two-year period 2005 to 2007should not be interpreted to mean that all communities and states have experienced simi-lar declines. To the contrary, almost half of the CoCs (44 percent) reported increases inhomelessness, and over one-third of states (36 percent) reported increases. Because muchof the policy that affects homelessness outcomes is designed at the state and local levels,the variation across communities and states is as much of the story as the estimates ofnational improvement. Changes at the state and CoC levels are addressed in “Homelessnessby State” and in the sidebar, “A Closer Look at Communities.” These state- and local-leveldecreases and increases are the cumulative result of a number of factors: changes in hous-ing and homelessness policy and practices, demographic changes, economic factors, andother external factors. While it is the goal of the Alliance to be able to determine the degreeto which changes in homelessness at the state and local levels are attributable to policy, prac-tices, and other internal or external factors, the current data are not sufficient to support theidentification of reasons for increases and decreases in each state or local community.

night in January 2007 (Table 1). In addition, some homeless subpopulations experiencedeven larger percentage decreases. Chronic homelessness fell by almost 30 percent, from171,192 persons to 123,790 persons, and persons in homeless families decreased by 18percent, from 303,524 to 248,511. A review of Table 1 and Exhibit 1 reveals that decreasesare reported among the subcategories detailed in this report.

It is important to note that these estimates provide a national snapshot of people whoare homeless at a point in time (usually a night during the last week in January). Manymore people are homeless over the course of the year (see the sidebar, “AnnualCounts” ).

Homelessness by StateEstimates of homelessness5 and homelessness incidence6 were presented for the

first time for each state and territory in Homelessness Counts. This allowed policy-makers at the state and local levels to identify the extent of the problem nationally andin their communities. In this version of the report, we are expanding the amount ofstate-level data presented to allow a more complete assessment of the homelessnessproblem in each state. In addition to total homelessness estimates and homeless inci-dence, we are including rates of change from 2005 to 2007 and estimates for severalsubpopulations.

Table 2 and Map 1 provide homelessness estimates by state. The state totals were cre-ated by aggregating the CoC estimates within each state. Not surprisingly, the largest

states—California, New York, and Texas—also had the largest counts of homeless per-sons in 2007. The homelessness incidence estimates, presented in Table 2 and Map 2,provide better comparisons across states because the incidence estimates account fordifferences in population across states. Nevada, Hawaii, Oregon, and Californiareported the highest incidence of homelessness. With 49 homeless people per every10,000 people living in the state, Nevada had the highest incidence of homelessness inthe country.

all reported low incidences of homelessness. With 5 homeless people per 10,000 peo-ple in the state population, Mississippi reported the lowest incidence of homelessness.Among territories and the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., Guam, and the Vir-gin Islands had very high rates of homelessness, with Washington, D.C. reporting thehighest.

Table 2 and Map 3 provide changes in homelessness by state. In 64 percent of the statesand territories, the homelessness estimates decreased, with Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, SouthDakota, and New Mexico reporting the highest decreases in homelessness. The fact thatmost states experienced decreases is consistent with the overall assessment of a nationaldecline in homelessness. However, in 36 percent of the states and U.S territories, the esti-mates went up. Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Maryland reported the biggestincreases. At 63.3 percent, Kentucky reported the largest state-level increase. This analy-sis cannot explain why homelessness increased or decreased in particular states. In somestates, it appears that the changes in homelessness were the result of methodologicalchanges. For example, both Texas and North Carolina increased the coverage area; there-fore, when the CoCs did their annual counts, they covered a wider geography. But, moststates that experienced increases have not modified their coverage area. The estimatesand the changes from 2005 to 2007 should be used as a starting point for further investi-gation and explanation into why the estimates changed.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to conduct acount of their homeless population every other year. Using a range of methodologies, communities countboth their sheltered and unsheltered populations and submit the estimates to HUD. The quality of commu-nity counts is uneven, with some jurisdictions using more rigorous methods than others. However, therehave been significant efforts from HUD to provide guidance and increase technical assistance to help localcommunities collect accurate estimates.

This report tabulates, summarizes, and compares data from CoC point-in-time counts conducted in 2005 and2007. There are numerous difficulties to counting homeless people, including definitional issues, findinghomeless people, data collection and enumeration methods, sampling and extrapolation, de-duplicating, anddiffering time frames. Additionally, because it is up to each CoC to design a data collection method that meetslocal needs, each point-in-time count has its own limitations, which are not described here. One noted draw-back in using the CoC data is that communities can, and many do, change their data collection methodologiesfrom year to year. In addition, many of the CoCs change geography from year to year (see Appendix A).

Communities across the country experienced a mix of increases and decreases in their local homeless popula-tion. Of the 433 CoCs that reported data in both 2005 and 2007, little more than half (56 percent) reporteddecreases in the total number of homeless people within their jurisdiction. Among the 244 CoCs that experi-enced a decrease, homelessness declined by 147,005 people. The reported declines ranged from 1 person to9,981 people, with a median decline of 172. At face value, most of these declines appear reasonable—meaningthat they appear achievable within a two-year time frame and are not obviously due to changes in data collec-tion methods. There were, however, several CoCs that reported declines that accounted for a sizable share ofthe total decline. Eight of these CoCs are shown in Table 3. A closer look at the reported changes shows thatsome CoCs were reporting adjustments to their data, rather than real declines in homelessness. Rhode Island,for example, incorrectly reported an annual number in 2005 instead of the requested point-in-time number.In 2007, Rhode Island correctly reported a point-in-time number, which at first glance appears to be an enor-mous reduction in homelessness. Not all large declines are due to this type of adjustment. Some are due to acombination of methodological changes, more accurate reporting, and real changes in homelessness.

Approximately 44 percent of CoCs experienced an increase in homelessness between 2005 and 2007. Thetotal increase among the CoCs reporting increases was 66,958 people. The increases ranged from 1 person to8,319 people, with a median increase of 121. Some of these increases are real; however, as with examiningcommunities with decreases, these numbers should be handled with caution. As communities continue toimprove the accuracy of their counts, both adjustments and real changes in levels of homelessness will bereflected in the counts.

Sheltered and Unsheltered

The CoC estimates provide data on how many homeless people are living in shelters(this includes emergency shelters and transitional housing) and how many home-

less people are literally sleeping on the street or other places not meant for human habi-tation (e.g., cars, woods, campsites, abandoned buildings). The 2007 estimates show that58 percent (or 391,399 people) were living in homeless shelters or transitional housing,and 42 percent (or 280,460) were unsheltered (Exhibit 2).

Because the estimates were taken in January and many communities take emergencyaction when temperatures drop below freezing by providing additional hypothermia pre-vention beds, it is unsettling and unacceptable that such a large number of people werestill found sleeping outside or in other places not meant for habitation during the wintermonths. Unsheltered homeless peopleare often more vulnerable to illness, drugabuse, and violence than their shelteredcounterparts.7 So it is particularly positivenews that the number of reported unshel-tered people is down 13 percent, from322,082 in January 2005 to 280,460 inJanuary 2007. The number of people inshelter also decreased, from 407,813 to391,399 (or about 4 percent) (Exhibit 2).

Nationally, shelter utilization rateshover around 99 percent for emergencyshelters that serve individuals and 88percent for those that serve families.Transitional housing utilization rates arenotably lower—83 percent for individu-als and 73 percent for families.8 The exis-tence of unused emergency shelter andtransitional housing capacity suggests that existing shelter is not well matched to shel-ter needs in some communities. Restrictive rules at shelters may also explain some ofthe unused capacity. A number of CoCs reported a high proportion of unshelteredhomeless people. Most of these CoCs are located in warm weather locations such asFlorida and California. A closer look at the emergency shelter needs in these locations

is necessary. Map 4 shows the percentage of unsheltered homeless people across theUnited States.

Among states and territories, there is a wide variation in the degree to which the homelesspopulation is unsheltered. The unsheltered percentage for individual states is shown inAppendix B. The states with the highest unsheltered percentages were California, Nevada,and Michigan, all of which had percentages at or over 60 percent. Among territories, theVirgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico had three of the highest unsheltered percentages,

Annual Counts

While point-in-time counts provide an estimate of how many people are homeless at a giventime, there are far more people who are homeless over the course of the year. The Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development released the first annual count of the shelteredhomeless population in 2008. This report revealed 1.6 million persons living in emergencyshelter and transitional housing over the course of 12 months (October 1, 2006 to Septem-ber 20, 2007).9 This annual estimate does not include persons living on the street, in cars,in abandoned buildings, or in other places not meant for human habitation, nor does itinclude those individuals and families who were staying in shelters for victims of domesticviolence. This estimate should be of particular interest to policymakers when determiningannual funding for federal programs aimed at preventing and ending homelessness.

with 87 percent, 86 percent, and 68 percent, respectively. Maine had the lowest unshelteredpercentage in the country with just over 2 percent of its homeless population unsheltered.Rhode Island had the second lowest percentage with fewer than 4 percent of its homelesspopulation unsheltered. South Dakota, New York, and Pennsylvania follow, all with unshel-tered percentages less than 10 percent. Additionally, the District of Columbia had one ofthe lowest percentages, with only 6 percent of its homeless population living on the street.

Subpopulations:Chronically HomelessAdultsThis report makes the distinction between homeless individuals and homeless per-

sons who are members of families. Most people who experience homelessness areindividuals, who represented 63 percent of the total homeless population in the January2007 point-in-time count. Homelessness among individuals decreased 3 percent, from437,710 in January 2005 to 423,348 in January 2007.

While the number of homeless individuals decreased by only 3 percent, the number ofindividuals identified as chronically homeless declined by 28 percent—from 171,192 inJanuary 2005 to 123,790 in January 2007 (see Exhibit 3). Chronically homeless adults aredefined as individuals with a disabilitywho have been homeless for long periodsor who experience repeated episodes ofhomelessness. Research indicates thatonly a small subset of homeless adults ischronically homeless. In 2007, chroni-cally homeless persons made up 18 per-cent of the total homeless population and29 percent of homeless individuals. Thisis down from 23 percent and 40 percent,respectively, in 2005.

This decrease is likely due to both realdecreases, meaning more chronicallyhomeless people getting back into perma-nent housing, and changes in the meth-ods used to count chronically homelesspeople. Considering recent efforts to

increase the stock of permanent supportive housing targeted to chronically homeless peo-ple, one would expect a decrease in this population. And in a number of places, decreasesin chronic homelessness have had a visible effect on the street.10,11

Caution about the homeless point-in-time counts is particularly important when estimat-ing the number of chronically homeless people, because identifying chronic homeless-ness has inherent difficulties. Identifying chronically homeless adults using existingpoint-in-time count methods involves homeless individuals both knowing and reportingto a data collector that they fit the definition of chronic homelessness or asking the datacollector to make that assessment based on interview questions. As a result, estimates ofthe number of chronically homeless adults suffer from reliability problems. Trend datashowing the numbers going down over a longer time period (three to five years) will bringincreased confidence that these estimates are evidence of a true decrease in chronichomelessness.

Changes in chronic homelessness estimates and chronic homelessness as a percentage oftotal homelessness are shown in Appendix B for each state. The states with the highestrates of chronic homelessness are West Virginia, Mississippi, California, and Utah. WestVirginia had the highest rate, with almost 48 percent of homeless people being chroni-cally homeless. Maine had the lowest rate of chronic homelessness, with less than 4 per-

Estimates of Non-Chronically Homeless Individuals

The number of homeless individuals has declined overall by 3 percent since 2005. In Janu-ary 2007, there were 423,348 homeless individuals compared with 437,710 in 2005. How-ever, the number of homeless individuals who are not chronically homeless increased overthe last two years, from 266,518 in 2005 to 300,313 in 2007. Non-chronically homelessindividuals are a large portion of the total homeless population and are the one homelesssubpopulation for which there is a reported increase at the national level. Few studies havebeen conducted on this growing population. This population includes persons who becomehomeless for short periods of time due to losing their jobs, homes, or other financial sup-ports. Increased research on reasons for this increase is needed.

Homeless Veterans

In November 2007, the Alliance released the first report to quantify the number of home-less veterans at the national and state level. This report detailed the strategies needed to endhomelessness among veterans. That report used 2005 data. An update that included 2007data was published in 2008 and estimated the number of homeless veterans at 154,000. Formore detailed information about homelessness among veterans and its solutions, see VitalMission: Ending Homelessness among Veterans.12

38077 NAEH Text .qxd:11516-01_HC2.qxd 1/5/09 1:55 PM Page 15

cent. Other states with low rates of chronic homelessness were Idaho, Kentucky, Mon-tana, and Wyoming. Widespread changes in methodology for identifying the chronicallyhomeless from 2005 to 2007 prevent more detailed analysis into the reasons for thesestate-level variations.

Subpopulations:Homelessness amongFamilies

Homelessness among persons in families with children declined 18 percent, from303,524 in January 2005 to 248,511 in January 2007 (Table 1).13 The number of

homeless family households declined by 14,517 (or 15 percent), from 98,452 in January2005 to 83,935 in January 2007 (see Table 1). Additionally, persons in families with chil-dren represented a smaller share of the total homeless population in 2007 than they didin 2005. In 2005, 41 percent of the homeless population was made up of persons in fam-ilies with children. By 2007, however, this had decreased to 37 percent (see Exhibit 4).

There were even more pronounceddecreases among unsheltered persons infamilies with children. The number ofunsheltered homeless persons in fami-lies with children decreased by 30 per-cent, from 101,326 in 2005 to 70,628 in2007. In 2007, unsheltered persons infamilies represented 28 percent of allhomeless persons in families, down from33 percent in 2005. While this reductionshows progress, it is unacceptable thatany families with children are living onthe streets or in other places not meantfor human habitation.

State-level changes in family homelessness and family homelessness as a percentage oftotal homelessness are reported in Appendix B. The table reveals that two-thirds of states

and territories experienced decreases in family homelessness ranging from 1 to 84 per-cent and that the remaining states reported mostly modest increases.

Communities across the country are implementing strategies to end family homelessness,including increasing permanent housing options for families and Housing First initiatives.Approximately 49 percent of plans to end homelessness specify families as a target sub-population. The recent emphasis on ending homelessness among families has resulted inprogress.

Conclusion

This report shows that far too many people remain homeless in the United States,many of whom are unsheltered—living on the street or in other places not meant

for human habitation. The report also underscores the difficultly in counting homelesspeople and highlights some of the challenges with data collection methods. Neverthe-less, for the first time ever, communities are collecting enough data to measure progressin ending homelessness. While most communities and states have made progress towardending homelessness, there are still far too many people who are homeless in the UnitedStates and too many communities where there is no evidence of progress.

These data are intended to help policymakers understand the size and scope of the prob-lem and further promote the implementation of effective strategies to end homelessnessin all communities across the country. The data available at the time of this publicationdo not reflect those households that were affected by the recent economic crisis. Thepoint-in-time counts conducted at the end of January 2009 may reveal that more people,likely those who were already precariously housed or in some other way at risk, havebecome homeless. Policymakers at all levels—community, state, and federal—shouldconsider the evidence of progress from 2005 to 2007 and the likely increases in homeless-ness in 2009 when making decisions about our safety net programs aimed at preventingpeople from becoming homeless and shortening the length of time they stay homeless.

Appendix A: A Note about theRecent GeographicalChangesIn 2005, 462 CoCs reported data to HUD, all of which were then included in HomelessnessCounts. In 2007, 461 CoCs reported data to HUD. While a large majority of CoCs remainedunchanged between 2005 and 2007, some shifted. There were 24 CoCs that were absorbedby another CoC in 2007. That is, they existed on their own in 2005, but in 2007 their geog-raphy was covered by a different CoC. For example, CT-511 Litchfield County submittedan application in 2005 that included their homelessness population chart. In 2007, thatcounty joined the Connecticut Balance of State Continuum of Care (CT-505) and the num-ber of homeless people living in Litchfield County was then counted as part of the Bal-ance of State. There were 20 other CoCs that joined Balances of State in North Carolina,Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Virginia, and Puerto Rico.14 Three other CoCs joined other coun-ties or regional CoCs when submitting their 2007 application for funding: Steuben Countyin New York (NY-506), which joined Elmira/Chemung County (NY-510); Clarksville/Mid-Cumberland in Tennessee (TN-505), which joined the larger Central Tennessee CoC (TN-503); and Aguadilla in Puerto Rico (PR-505), which joined South/Southeast Puerto Rico(PR-503).

To make accurate comparisons between years, there were adjustments that needed tobe made among the 2005 CoCs. It would be erroneous to compare the Connecticut Bal-ance of State of 2007, for example, with its geographically smaller version of 2005. Toaccount for this, we merged the 2005 CT-511 Litchfield County with the 2005 Balance ofState. In Texas and North Carolina, this was done as well, but the 2007 geographic areais not the same as that which was created for 2005. Both states have new Balance of StateCoCs that cover regions previously not represented. Much of Texas in 2005 did not belongto any CoC and thus did not report any data on homelessness. Because of this, data forthe Texas and North Carolina Balances of State should be considered baseline figures.Though they have 2005 comparison data, the area covered in 2007 is much larger thanthat of 2005.

1814 All of the baseline numbers included in this report are from Homelessness Counts, National Alliance to EndHomelessness (2007).
