Chapter 3 Sheltered Homeless People in 2008 This chapter provides a profile of the roughly 1.6 million people who used an emergency shelter or transitional housing program at some time from October 2007 through September 2008. The chapter is based on HMIS <strong>data</strong> reported by 222 jurisdictions nationwide, weighted to represent the entire nation. The chapter focuses on: • The demographic characteristics of sheltered homeless people. Who were the sheltered homeless? How did the characteristics of homeless persons compare to those of the overall population living in poverty and the U.S. population as a whole? • The location of homeless service use. In what types of communities (urban, suburban or rural) did people use emergency and transitional housing programs? Where did they stay before using residential homeless services? • The patterns of homeless service use. How did people use emergency and transitional housing programs? How long did people stay in homeless residential facilities? Each of these topics is discussed for the total sheltered population and then separately for individuals and for persons in families. The HMIS-based estimates of sheltered homeless individuals include single adults, unaccompanied youth, persons in multi-adult households, and persons in multi-child households. A multi-adult household is a household composed of adults only—no children are present. A multi-child household is composed of children only (e.g., parenting youth)—no adults are present. The HMIS-based estimates of homeless persons in families include persons in households with at least one adult and one child. 3.1 Characteristics of People Using Homeless Shelters, 2008 Characteristics of All Sheltered Persons, 2008 Approximately 68 percent of the 1,594,000 Adult men (64 percent of adults) sheltered homeless people were homeless as Minority (62 percent of all persons) individuals and 32 percent were persons in Age 31 to 50 (40 percent of all families. As displayed in Exhibit 3-1, more persons) than two-thirds of sheltered individuals were Alone (67 percent of all persons) single adult men, and about one-quarter were Disabled (43 percent of all adults) single adult women. Very few people were homeless together with other adults but no children, and very few were unaccompanied or parenting youth. Among persons in families, 60 percent were children under age 18, and 40 percent were adults. Chapter 3: Sheltered Homeless People in 2008 23
