Goals: Ending homelessness…

Children

A roadmap for action by
agencies and local/state partners
in the public and private sector.
 It is simply unacceptable for
 individuals, children, families
 and our nation’s Veterans to be
 faced with homelessness in this
 country.

Families
•    600,000 families are homeless annually
•    242,000 families homeless each night
•    20% on public assistance - in their lifetime
•    Usually due to some unforeseen financial crisis
     •  Inability to Find Affordable Housing
     •  Insufficiency of Subsidized Housing
     •  Loss of a Job or Work That Doesn’t Pay Enough to Afford
        Housing

•  Most able to bounce back quickly, with little
     help
     •  Rent assistance
     •  Housing placement
     •  Job assistance
Youth
•  A total of 939,903 students experiencing homelessness were
     enrolled in public schools in the 2009-2010 school year.

•  Familial disruption: divorce, neglect, or abuse

•  Large majority are short-term

•     Small minority are long-term homeless: 50,000

•  A particular challenge for several reasons
   •  Very little definitive data on the population
   •  Often don’t interact with standard homeless assistance
        programs or government agencies
     •  Solutions often not applicable to minors (who are, for
        example, ineligible to rent an apartment)
     •  Special challenges mean that solutions to youth
        homelessness require targeted innovation
