Conducting the annual statewide point-in-time Homeless Census, and its supplementary Homeless Demographic and

Needs Survey and the Housing Inventory for the Homeless has always been a major undertaking, and 2012 was no

different. It involves homeless service providers, homeless coalition (Continuum of Care) leaders, and support staff who

coordinate and execute a plan for administering the Census throughout the state during the same twenty-four hour

period at the end of January. Some regions were able to make remarkable strides in increasing coverage of survey

areas. The success of the project is due, in large part, to the hundreds of tireless service providers and compassionate

volunteers who joined forces to help us better understand the face of homelessness in Louisiana. It is with our deepest

gratitude that we acknowledge their time, talent, and resources.

Since the last statewide report on homelessness was released in 2007, there has been a significant growth in data

collection. The CoCs across the state have merged their systems of data management into a single HMIS database that

allows for each region to have more direct access and control over how information is captured and recorded. This has

directly made completing a Point-in-Time Count of sheltered and unsheltered persons easier. Nevertheless, it goes

without saying that this growth has been laden with its own series of hiccups. We are grateful to the Board of the

Louisiana Services Network Data Consortium (LSNDC) for remaining dedicated to its work for the greater good.

Lastly, we would like to thank all of the respondents who provided the information upon which the report is developed. Without their willingness to have their stories represented, we would not be able to examine where we are, nor speculate where it is we need to go, as a State. Reducing their struggles and improving their quality of life experiences are the best gauges of the efficacy of our service-delivery system that aims to prevent and end homelessness within our communities.

A Single Night Counts: Homelessness in Louisiana Executive Summary

The Louisiana Homeless Census, also known as the “Point-in-Time”, is a statewide effort to conduct an unduplicated count of the homeless population and obtain information directly from homeless services consumers to better assess their service and housing needs. Data derived from the Homeless Census is a critical “snapshot” of homelessness and the services that are in place to respond. Obtaining this information is imperative to better understand how homelessness is changing, to measure the efficacy of these service networks, and to inform the public at large. Building upon the understanding and experiences of the local Continua of Care, findings from the 2012 Homeless Census will be used to shape decisions made by local, state, and federal partners as we progress towards the goal of preventing and ending homelessness. It is the responsibility of organizations who receive funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide an enumeration of homelessness within their respective communities for a single night, generally within the last ten days of January. In the State of Louisiana, the extensive network of homeless assistance and prevention service providers, referred to as Continua of Care (CoCs), coordinate a count that spans from Bossier Parish to the tip of Jefferson, and everything in between. These ten CoCs account for 62 of the 64 parishes in the State. A Census has been conducted intermittently throughout the ten regions since 1998, with a minimal compliance requirement of every two years, as mandated by HUD. Additionally, there has been quite a variation over the past several years in the defined parameters of who is identified as literally homeless1 and should be included in the Count. For these reasons, this report focuses exclusively on the number of persons identified as literally homeless during the 2012 Point-in-Time date, with a brief comparison to data captured in 2011.

1 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines a person as literally homeless only when he/she resides in:

A place not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, abandoned buildings, barns,

An Emergency Shelter, or

A Transitional Housing program for persons who were unsheltered or residing in an Emergency Shelter prior to entering the program.

On January 23rd, 2012, 7,771 men, women, and children were identified in Louisiana as experiencing literal homelessness. This represents an overall significant reduction of 21.7 percent from 2011, when there were 9,291homeless persons counted. In general, the greatest reductions were seen for those persons who were residing in places not suitable for human habitation, otherwise known as unsheltered. Those who were sheltered, or residing in Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing for homeless persons, and Safe Havens, comprised 48.8 percent of the total in 2012, accounting for 3,796 people. This was an 11percent increase from the 2011 Sheltered Count, which

identified 3,405 sheltered individuals.

To gain better understanding of who is without permanent, stable housing, communities have to examine their local data, as no network of services and service delivery is precisely like another. For instance, the parishes of Orleans and Jefferson (Regions I & X), which have historically represented more than 60 percent of the total number of literally homeless persons in the State, realized a reduction of 1,784 persons (26.7%), while the City of Baton Rouge and its surrounding parishes (Region II) experienced an increase of 47.9 percent from the previous year’s count, or 240 men, women, and children. In many of the largely rural CoCs there were decreases in the number of persons counted, from 1.8 percent on the Northshore (Region IX) to 10.2 percent in the parishes around the City of Lafayette. Concurrently, Region V, which is the southwest corner of the state, including Calcasieu Parish and its neighbors, saw an increase of 32 literally homeless persons, or 71.1

percent increase.

The other value of the Homeless Census is realized through an assessment of the homeless services and housing across the State. All of the CoCs calculated their bed capacities during the same period, allowing them to identify the number of Emergency Shelter beds, Transitional Housing, Safe Havens, and Permanent Supportive Housing that were in place on the night January 23rd. They could then examine how many were being utilized and how many were vacant. These utilization rates, contained later in this report, provide communities with a snapshot of their systems of service delivery,

in concert with a view of who is accessing assistance and who is remaining “on the street”.

The 2012 Homeless Census focuses on a single point in the year, wherein a select number of persons who are experiencing housing crises in Louisiana are profiled. Unfortunately, this is only a chapter in the story. There are thousands more men, women, and children who are vulnerable, some for the first time, some for a seeming endless number of years. The intent of the report is to provide the Continua of Care, and the State as a whole, bases for examining where people remain underserved and

where strides are being made in ending homelessness. With data-driven policies, communities can

choose to invest in change that does end homelessness for all.

Introduction and Overview

The intent of this report is to help drive future decision-making that brings about safe, sustainable housing for all persons. Because of the breadth of factors that contribute to homelessness, it must be examined from several different perspectives. This report contains the findings of the 2012 multifaceted, state-wide effort to document homelessness in Louisiana.

1. Homeless Census: During the last ten days of January, a census is conducted of people who are homeless, on a selected night of that time period. For Louisiana, this date in 2012 was January 23rd. This provides an overall count of the number of people who are homeless. People counted are first categorized by whether they are with or without children. Information is also recorded as to where the homeless are residing, within one of three categories: (1) whether they are unsheltered, living in a place not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, abandoned buildings, or barns; (2) whether they are in Emergency Shelters; or (3) whether they are living in Transitional Housing programs and were previously unsheltered, or in Emergency Shelters. At the same time the Census is conducted, when possible, people are interviewed. This survey asks about housing, health, and service needs of the person and those in his/her household.

2. Housing Inventory for the Homeless: At the same time, an inventory is conducted of housing options available for addressing homelessness.

3. Demographic Profiles from the U.S. Census: In this year’s report, information has been added from the U.S. Census to provide supplemental demographic data for planning.

The information provided in this report is aggregated to the state level, but where possible, the information is also described by Continua of Care (CoCs), the collaborative networks of homeless service organizations throughout the State of Louisiana.

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to provide carefully targeted and collected information for improving

services for the persons experiencing homelessness. One must be able to answer questions about who

is most likely to be homeless, where they reside, and what their needs are. Only with the availability

of high-quality data it is possible for nonprofit, volunteer, for-profit, religious and governmental

agencies to advance their work for the homeless men, women, and children in Louisiana. Such data

can be used to:

Strengthen coordination among service providers and government agencies;

Intensify public awareness of homeless issues and generate public support for moving toward solutions;

Offer the ability to prioritize funding for homelessness by planning bodies, such as foundations, corporations, municipalities, and other community stakeholders;

Examine changes in the numbers and characteristics of our homeless populations in future counts to ascertain our effectiveness; and

Track progress locally in response to newer Federal reporting requirements on trends in homelessness.

What Point-in-Time Homeless Data is Not

While data obtained from a Point-in-Time Survey is valuable, it should be noted that when using this

information, one must recognize the measurement issues involved in collecting data on homeless

persons. First, there are limits in its population coverage. For instance, people who are unsheltered,

especially in largely rural areas, are difficult to locate. Secondly, not all identified persons are

willing to release information. Third, there is often a reliance on counting individuals through their

request for services during the survey period. Therefore, persons might not be identified as homeless

because they did not seek services at that time. Fourth, persons who are at imminent risk for

becoming homeless, such as those who are being evicted from rental housing or temporarily living

with family or friends and have no other means for acquiring housing, are not treated as literally

homeless, and, therefore, not documented in this report. Lastly, while in recent years definitions used

are becoming more standardized, there remain some differences in the definitions of homeless

services, wherein the standardization of service-type labels is inconsistent and the inclusion/exclusion

of eligible persons in the census is not always precise. A conservative estimate is that, on any given

day, there may be as many as twice the reported count of homeless adults and children living in

Louisiana. As efforts to refine future counts develop, our certainty of accurate data collection will

likely improve. It remains possible to use this data for planning purposes by looking for general

patterns and realizing the directions of possible biases.

Methodology

Planning A committee comprised of CoC representatives and Homeless Management Information System

(HMIS) administrators was formed in late 2011 to initiate planning for the statewide 2012 Homeless

Census. The night of Monday, January 23rd, was selected as the Point-in-Time, wherein Continua of

Page 8

Care throughout Louisiana would systematically identify and count the number of men, women, and

children experiencing literal homelessness. The committee determined the survey questions,

demographic data, and agency service usage data needed to satisfy the various requests for

information used by local and national agencies. As in previous years, the Census would be

coordinated locally by each CoC, including the identification and recruitment of participating

agencies/organizations and volunteers for street counts, training and accompanying materials,

distribution and collection of the questionnaires, and data entry. Also similar to the process for the

2010 Count, the Committee designed a survey instrument [Appendix A] that incorporated all desired

data elements, and then developed an assessment format within the LSNDC database system that

would allow for electronic data entry and management of the survey responses. The value in this was

two-fold as it allowed for each CoC to be able to directly access their data, as well as minimize the

number of persons who needed to be surveyed. In many cases, consumers who needed to be included

in the Count, as they were homeless on the night of the Point-in-time Count, were already in the

database.

Survey Instrument and Collection of Data There were several driving forces behind much of the data collection design. The primary questions were derived from the HUD directive to identify and enumerate the number of persons who are residing in Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing for homeless persons, Safe Havens, and those who are unsheltered during the selected night of the Count. Specifically, HUD requests that the Counts provide for those living in Households without Children, Households with at least one Child, and Child Only Households. For these purposes, a child is anyone seventeen years of age or younger. Secondary to the total enumerations, the Point-in-Time Count must be able to account for a series of sub-population data, including the number of Veterans, persons fleeing domestic violence, unaccompanied youth, and persons with any of selected disabling conditions. In addition, the Committee elected to incorporate questions that allowed for CoCs to assess vulnerability amongst the respondents who were residing in unsheltered conditions or Emergency Shelters. The Vulnerability Index (VI)2 is a means for assessing the fragility of health for persons who are living on the street or in Emergency Shelters, based on national research that examines morbidity amongst the most at risk homeless persons. Many of the CoCs in Louisiana have already integrated VI scoring into their process for prioritization of permanent housing, where available. The VI questions relating to specific health factors and the length of time unsheltered were necessary components of the survey. The survey was also designed to

2 The Vulnerability Index is an instrumental component of the 100,000 Homes Campaign, a national movement to identify by name homeless persons in communities who are most susceptible to death should they remain without permanent housing [http://100khomes.org/]

“Literally Homeless”: Sheltered and Unsheltered

Sheltered persons/families are considered homeless only when they reside:

In Emergency Shelters, including motels or apartments with vouchers paid for by a public or private agency;

In transitional or supportive housing for homeless persons who originally came from the streets or an Emergency Shelter;

In Safe Havens

Unsheltered persons are considered homeless only when they reside:

In places not meant for human habitation, such as parks, sidewalks, abandoned buildings, or cars.

An HMIS is an electronic data collection system that stores longitudinal person-level information about persons who access the homeless services system in a Continuum of Care (CoC). HMIS is a

valuable resource because of its capacity to integrate and unduplicate data from all homeless assistance and homelessness

prevention programs in a CoC. Aggregate HMIS data can be used to understand the size, characteristics, and needs of the homeless

population at the local, state, and national levels.

2010.

capture information from unaccompanied homeless individuals (adult or youth), or from multiple persons within the same household, where necessary, while controlling for duplicate respondents.

The predominant method of conducting the Census was through the recruitment and participation of human service organizations. It is important to note that depending on regional physical composition, the availability of resources, the abundance of human service providers, and the like, there was a large variance in data collection among the CoCs. The metropolitan areas, notably New Orleans and Baton Rouge, were able to delineate blocks where the unsheltered homeless are known to congregate, wherein volunteer enumerators can conduct interviews with concentrations of people. There is also a more extensive network of homeless services in urban areas, such as shelters and food services, improving the efficiency of data collection in the short period of time. Additionally, Regions I & X use statistically significant sampling of persons residing in abandoned buildings to derive their unsheltered count3. The more rural regions of the state often have a greater burden identifying homeless persons beyond those who are already being served by their providers on the chosen day. A widespread canvassing of their districts is not feasible, but they are able to employ other methods for completing surveys on their unsheltered homeless, such as visiting “tramp camps” around interstates. Ultimately, this does not comprehensively reveal the true hidden homeless in any region. A sample of participating service providers included: governmental social service agencies, community action agencies, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, legal aid offices, churches, nonprofit organizations that were identified as providing services to the poor, and sheriffs departments.

The survey questionnaires were completed in one of two ways: (1) agency representatives and/or volunteers conducted an interview with a known client or a person who may be homeless, or (2) in cases that an agency representative had previous knowledge of a homeless consumer and could provide the requested information, he/she completed the survey on the client’s behalf. Responses from the completed surveys were entered into the statewide Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) that is administered by the Louisiana Services Network Data Consortium (LSNDC). HMIS databases are utilized by CoCs

across the United States for standardizing how data on homeless persons are captured and recorded. They are mandated through Congressional directives for programs receiving funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In Louisiana, all ten Continua, comprised of their partnering organizations, utilize the LSNDC system to manage their consumer data. In this capacity, many of the persons included in the Count were literally homeless, receiving services through one of these organizations, and, thusly, already recorded in the LSNDC system. Harnessing the HMIS for the Census minimized the need to enter duplicate demographic information by the communities. In many other cases, persons were not already accessing services, and so the interview

was a first point of contact for homeless persons who would have remained unknown otherwise by the CoC. Should these persons access homeless services networks in the future, there is now longitudinal information reflecting their homelessness.

Figure 4 provides an alphabetical list of the parishes and their respective CoCs.. The State of Louisiana is divided into ten Continua of Care, with each CoC encompassing one of more parishes. Each of the Continua of Care encompasses one or more parishes. Region VIII, in the northeast corner of Louisiana is the largest, with a CoC comprised of twelve parishes, while Regions I and X only contain one parish each. Plaquemines and St. Bernard part of any of the Continua. Appendix D provides demographic detail about the composition of the Continua and the parishes of which they are comprised.

Definition of Homeless Populations The term “sheltered” refers to persons who are living in Emergency Shelters, including motel vouchers

paid through human service organizations, or Transitional Housing for persons who came from the

streets or Emergency Shelters. Persons residing in Safe Havens on the night of the Census are also

treated as sheltered. Unsheltered persons are those who were sleeping outside or in some place not

appropriate for human habitation on the night of the Count. Individuals and families who are sharing

housing due to economic hardship, often referred to as “doubled-up” or “couch surfing”, are not

included in the count of literally homeless persons. Persons facing evictions or repossession of their

homes are also not considered literally homeless. Persons who were residing in Permanent Supportive

Housing were also purposefully omitted from the Count of sheltered and unsheltered persons, but

they were incorporated in the overall process to facilitate an accurate inventory of housing for

homeless and formally homeless persons.

State and Regional Homeless Census: Point-in-Time Survey Findings

As a starting point, 7, 771 persons were identified as experiencing literal homelessness on January 23rd

across Louisiana [Figure 5]. Of these, most (81percent) were in households without children and 19 percent

were in households with at least one child and adult. A small but disturbing amount, 51, or 0.7 percent, were

in children-only households. Of note, Transitional Housing includes those persons who were residing in Safe

Havens. This was a separate reporting division in the 2012 requirements set forth by HUD. For the purposes

of this report, they are treated as a single housing type.

COUNTS BY COC - Figure 6 separates the literally homeless counts by Emergency Shelter, Transitional

Housing (including Safe Havens), and those who were unsheltered on the night of the Census in each Continuum

of Care region. The largest number of homeless persons were identified in Regions I and X (Orleans and

Jefferson Parishes). Region VII, representing the nine parishes in the northwest corner of Louisiana that

surround Shreveport, had 804 persons overall and has the second highest count.

AGE GROUPS - Figure 8 displays the age ranges of persons experiencing literal homelessness. Of the 7,771 persons identified as literally homeless, 52.1 percent provided a birth date, wherein the youngest was under the age of one, while the oldest was 69 on the night of the Count. More than a quarter (26.8%) of the reported ages fell between 45 and 54. One fifth of the respondents were children under the age of 18, accounting for 776 participants.

RACE, GENDER, AND ETHNICITY - Figures 9, 10, and 11 provide demographic data of survey participants

who were identified as literally homeless. About half of

all persons responded to interview questions that asked

for the participant to state which gender, race, or

ethnicity best described him or her. Of those who shared

this information, approximately two-thirds self-identified

as male [Figure 9], two-thirds were African-American

[Figure 10], and almost all were non-Hispanic/non-Latino

[Figure 11]. The graphics depict the variance in

responses.

HOMELESSNESS AMONGST VETERANS - Figure 12 focuses upon homelessness amongst Veterans, a

population for whom there has been a concentration of services by HUD and the U.S. Department of Veterans

Affairs. In Lousiana, 889 Veterans were identified as being literally homeless during the Census, or

approximately 11 percent, of all reporting adults. Of those persons, approximately half (49.9%) were

residing in places not intended for human habitation, while the other half were sleeping in Emergency Shelters,

Transitional Housing, or Safe Havens on the night of January 23rd. These include those programs that target

their services to homeless Veterans, namely those in Regions IV, VII, and IX.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS - Figure 13 provides counts of the number of adults who self-reported as

being victims of domestic violence on the night of the Census. Of the 561 persons, or 14 percent of literally

homeless adults, almost nine out of ten of them were accessing temporary housing at Emergency Shelters or

Transitional Housing. Almost 12 percent (11.9%) were without shelter. It should be noted that this information

was only requested of the survey respondents and not of additional household members (children). Of those

respondents who were identified as domestic violence victims, more than a third were residing in a household

with at least one child.

DISABILITIES AND HOMELESSNESS - Figures 14, 15, 16, and 17 substantiate the prevalence of specific

disabling conditions amongst persons experiencing literal homelessness. Substance abuse, severe mental

illness, and HIV/AIDS are the three disabling conditions amongst homeless persons that are given a particular

priority at the national level. Overall, more than one quarter (27%) of all literally homeless respondents self-

identified as abusing alcohol and/or illegal drugs [Figure 14]. Almost one in four (24%) stated they had

been diagnosed with a severe mental illness [Figure 15]. A much smaller, but important, number of

respondents reported having an HIV/AIDS diagnosis – approximately 3 percent [Figure 16].

With the exception of Region V, chronic substance abuse was most frequently reported in each of the regions,

followed by severe mental illness [Figure 17]. The greatest concentration of reported substance abuse (43%)

was in Region IV. Of the number of literally homeless persons reporting severe mental illness diagnoses, the

largest percentages (37%) were in Regions I & X. There are far fewer reported cases of HIV/AIDS

diagnoses, but it is a critical national statistic for focusing housing services that are need-specific.

DISCHARGED INTO HOMELESSNESS - Figure 18 displays responses to the question of whether the

participant was discharged from a series of institutions/facilities within 30 days prior to the night of the

Census. Of the 451 adults surveyed who affirmed that they had been released, 178 had been in correctional

facilities (5.5%), 145 were from hospital/medical facilities (4.5%), 78 were from institutions of mental health

treatment (2.4%), 42 were from treatment facilities for substance abuse treatment (1.3%), 6 were from

military service (<0.1%), and 2 from foster care(<0.1%). The majority, or 64 percent, of those who had been

released were unsheltered. Twenty-two percent were sleeping in Emergency Shelters, and 14 percent were

in Transitional Housing programs for homeless persons.

CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS - Figures 20 and 21 provide an overview of the number of persons identified as

experiencing chronic homelessness. A chronically homeless person is defined as an unaccompanied homeless

individual (18 or older) with a disabling condition, or a family with at least one adult member (18 or older)

who has a disabling condition, who has either been continuously homeless for a year or more or has had at

least four (4) episodes of homelessness in the past three (3) years4. Persons who are residing in Emergency

Shelters, because it is often episodic with intermittent periods of sleeping on the streets, may be considered

chronically homeless when meeting the other measures. Nationally, about 10 percent of homeless persons are

chronically homeless. In the 2012 Louisinana Homeless Census, approximately 38 percent of the population

was identified as chronically homeless, with 2,742 individuals, or persons without children, and 201 families.

Nine out of ten chronically homeless individuals were unsheltered on the night of the Census, with the most in

Regions I & X, where they have a vast number of persons living in abandoned buildings that became

uninhabitable during Hurrican Katrina [Figure 20]. For chronically homeless families, more than half were

residing in emergency shelters during the night of the Count [Figure 21].

LENGTH OF TIME UNSHELTERED – Figure 22 builds upon the experience of those persons who were

unsheltered on the night of the Count. Of the 1,019 who provided an estimate of the length of time they had

been living on the streets, approximately 20 percent (199 persons) had been without steady shelter or

housing for a year or more. Moreover, 26 persons reported that they had been unsheltered for longer than

ten years.

VULNERABILITY INDEX – Figures 23, 24, and 25 examine the findings from the Vulnerablity Index questions that were incorporated into the 2012 Homeless Census in Louisiana. The Vulnerability Index (VI) is a nationally recognized tool5 for identifying who is most at risk of dying by remaining unsheltered, or in Emergency Shelters in an intermittent basis. For individuals who have been homeless for at least six months, one or more of the following markers place them at heightened risk of mortality: 1) More than three hospitalizations or emergency room visits in a year 2) More than three emergency room visits in the previous three months 3) Aged 60 or older 4) Cirrhosis of the liver 5) End-stage renal disease 6) History of frostbite, immersion foot, or hypothermia 7) HIV/AIDS 8) Tri-morbidity: co-occurring psychiatric, substance abuse, and chronic medical condition, lived on the streets for more than six months, as well as series of health conditions Using these eight risk factors, a score on a scale of zero to eight is assigned to the respondent. Rank is

ascending, with zero indicating the least vulnerable to mortality and eight having the greatest risk.

Communities can use this data to prioritize who may benefit the most, healthwise, by being placed in

permanent housing. This model is being utilized in cities and larger jurisdictions throughout the United States,

through the 100,000 Homes Campaign6, and, increasingly, communities are harnessing this data as part of

5 The Vulnerability Index is practical application of research into the causes of death of homeless individuals living on the street conducted by

Boston’s Healthcare for the Homeless organization, led by Dr. Jim O’Connell. The Boston research identified the specific health conditions that cause homeless individuals to be most at risk for dying on the street.

their annual point-in-time counts of homeless persons. Within Louisiana, several of the Continua are using

Vulnerability Index findings to help focus decision-making around limited permanent housing program funds.

Eight Continua elected to conduct a VI assessment of the persons who were surveyed during the Homeless

Census [Figure 23]. Regions I and X conduct periodic VI surveys at other times during the year; thus their data

are not included in these findings. The state as a whole, for

the participating eight Continua, almost one-third of the

persons surveyed (647, or 32.8% of 1,974), were deemed

vulnerable to some extent, with a score of one or

greater. Region VII, consisting of the nine parishes in the

northwest corner of the state that includes Shreveport, has the

greatest number of vulnerable homeless persons, followed by

Region IV, consisting of the 8 parishes around Lafayette

[Figure 23]. Of the persons who were surveyed for the

purposes of the VI, almost two-thirds (443 or 68.5%) were at

the lowest level of vulnerability, with scores of one. There

were 140 who scored twos (21.6%), 7 (9.7%) with scores of

three, and 1 (0.14%) with a score of four [Figure 24]. Figure 25 provides a comparison of persons surveyed

and those deemed vulnerable, with a score of one or greater.

Housing Types Emergency Shelter (ES): programs that provide a temporary place to stay for newcomers, travelers, people who are in crisis, or homeless individuals in the community. Stays are usually less than six months.

Homeless Prevention and Rapid-Rehousing (HPRP): A HUD-funded program that was designed to assist households who would otherwise become homeless without the short-term support, and to quickly help re-house those who are homeless. This HUD Federal program ends November 30, 2012.

Permanent Supportive Housing(PSH) : programs that provide affordable, community-based housing for individuals and families who have experienced long-term or chronic homelessness and have been diagnosed as having a physical or developmental disability, a severe mental illness, substance abuse problems or HIV/AIDS; structures include apartments, single-family houses, duplexes, group homes or single-room occupancy housing; most offer some type of case management and housing support.

Safe Haven (SH) : programs that serve chronically homeless individuals living with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders and do not require a commitment to services as a precondition for housing.

Transitional Housing (TH): programs that provide extended shelter and supportive services for homeless individuals and/or families with the goal of helping them live independently and transition into permanent housing; stays are generally longer than two weeks but typically 60 days or more and, in many cases, up to two years or more; may be configured for

specialized groups within the homeless population such as people with substance abuse problems, homeless mentally ill, homeless domestic violence victims, Veterans or homeless people with AIDS/HIV.

State and Regional Homeless Census: Housing Inventory

In addition to assessing the number of persons experiencing literal homelessness, Continua of Care across the state of Louisiana also assessed the availability of housing on the night of January 23rd, including both occupied and unoccupied beds. The following series of charts provides this data, grouped by housing type and household type. Included are the numbers of housing units and beds, both for households with children and without children. Also provided is the total number of beds and the Point-in-Time Count of those who were experiencing literal homelessness, so that a utilization rate could be established for each region. In total, there were 9,223 beds available, of which 3,574 were for households with children, and 5,922 were for households without children. (Some of these beds can be used for either type of household, so the total does not add up to the total bed count of 9,223.) There were an additional 221 overflow beds. The overall utilization rate was 61% for Emergency Shelter beds, 77% for Homeless Prevention and Rapid-Rehousing beds, 67% for Permanent Supportive Housing beds, and 78% for Transitional Housing beds. Overall, the utilization rate was 71%. Within each category one can see much variation, some of which could be attributed to inconsistencies with the reporting of Point-in-time counts or the number of beds that were in place on the night of the Census. The beds may have been apportioned based on average utilization rates during the year or the beds may have been apportioned based on how they are used on the night of the Count7. Appendix C contains a listing of agencies and programs that provide the housing services along with their individual number of beds, units, and statistics.
