2.4 Estimates of Sheltered Homeless Individuals and Families During a One-Year Period This section provides the estimates of the sheltered homeless population based on HMIS <strong>data</strong> that covers a 12-month reporting period. The estimates account for homeless people who used an emergency shelter and/or a transitional housing program at any time from October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. The annual estimates are based on an unduplicated count of persons served in emergency shelters and/or transitional housing, meaning that persons who used several residential facilities during the one-year reporting period are counted only once. The estimates are based on 427,201 records of homeless persons from 222 jurisdictions nationwide, statistically adjusted to produce the national estimates. Who is Counted in the One-Year HMIS-based Estimates Reported in the AHAR? The one-year estimates account for sheltered homeless people who used an emergency shelter and/or a transitional housing program at any time from October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. The estimates do not account for: 1. Homeless persons who lived on the streets or in places not meant for human habitation and did not access a residential homeless program during the one-year reporting period. 2. Homeless persons who used only a domestic violence shelter and did not access a residential homeless program that serves the general homeless population. a 3. Homeless persons in the U.S. Territories or Puerto Rico. a Domestic violence shelters include rape crisis centers, battered women’s shelters, domestic violence transitional housing programs, and other programs whose primary mission is to provide services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Pursuant to the Violence against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005, domestic violence shelter providers are prohibited from entering client information into an HMIS. Estimate of Sheltered Homeless Persons during a One-Year Period About 1,594,000 persons used an emergency shelter or a transitional housing program during the 12-month period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008, suggesting that about 1 in every 190 persons in the United States used a homeless residential facility at some point 18 Chapter 2: National Estimates of All Homeless People, Sheltered and Unsheltered
during that time (see Exhibit 2-9). 7 The nation’s sheltered homeless population included approximately 1,092,612 individuals (68.6 percent) and 516,724 persons in families (32.4 percent). Considered as households rather than separate people, there were 159,142 sheltered homeless families, representing about 14.4 percent of all sheltered homeless households. 8 a b c d Exhibit 2-9: Estimates of Sheltered Homeless Individuals and Persons in Families During a One-Year Period, 2007-2008 Total Number 2007 2008 % of Sheltered Homeless Population Total Number % of Sheltered Homeless Population Total Number of Sheltered Persons a 1,588,595 c 100% 1,593,794 c 100% Individuals b 1,115,054 d 70.2% 1,092,612 d 68.6% Persons in families 473,541 d 29.8% 516,724 d 32.4% Number of Sheltered Households with Children 130,968 — 159,142 — These estimated totals reflect the number of homeless persons in the 50 states and the District of Columbia who used emergency shelters or transitional housing programs during the one-year period from October 1 through September 30 of the following year. The estimates do not cover the U.S. Territories and Puerto Rico and do not include persons served by “victim service providers.” The estimated totals include an extrapolation adjustment to account for people who use emergency shelters and transitional housing programs but whose jurisdictions do not yet participate in their respective HMIS. However, a homeless person who does not use an emergency shelter or transitional housing during the 12-month period is not included in this estimate. Percentages may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding. This category includes unaccompanied adults and youth as well as multi-adult households without children. This estimate includes unaccompanied individuals and persons in households. In 2007, the 95 percent confidence interval for the estimated number of sheltered homeless persons in the population was 1,043,775 to 2,133,415 persons (or +/- 544,820 persons). In 2008, the 95 percent confidence interval is 1,180,758 to 2,006,830 (or +/- 413,036 persons). In both 2007 and 2008, approximately 1 percent of homeless persons were served both as an unaccompanied individual and a person in a family. In this exhibit, such people appear in both categories in 2008, so the total number of sheltered persons is slightly less than the sum of individuals and families. Source: Homeless Management Information System <strong>data</strong>, 2007-2008 The total number of sheltered homeless persons was fairly stable between 2007 and 2008, increasing slightly by about 5,200 people (or 0.3 percent). However, the household composition of the sheltered homeless population shifted appreciably. Homelessness among individuals remained relatively unchanged, whereas homelessness among persons in families increased by about 43,000 (or 9 percent). Accordingly, the share of family households among all sheltered households also increased, by nearly 3 percentage points, from 11.7 7 8 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the estimated total U.S. population was 304,059,724 persons on July 1, 2008. There were 1,092,612 homeless individuals, nearly all of whom were individual adult males, individual adult females, or unaccompanied youth. There were also 20,488 adults in multi-adult households. Assuming 2 adults per multi-adult household and each individual as a household, the percent of households that were families is 14.4 percent (or 159,142 divided by 1,102,856).
