Exhibit 3-1: Household Composition of Sheltered Individuals and Persons in Families, 2008 Sheltered Individuals Persons in Families 2.0% 1.9% 25.9% 39.7% 60.3% 70.2% Single adult male Single adult female Unaccompanied youth and several-children households Several-adult households Adults in households with children Children in households with adults Sources: Homeless Management Information System <strong>data</strong>, 2008 Characteristics of All Sheltered Persons A homeless person looks similar to a low-income housing tenant or other poor person, but considerably different from a typical person in the overall U.S. population (see Exhibit 3-2). Among the most common demographic features of sheltered homeless persons they are: male, 11 members of minority groups, older than age 31, and alone. More than two-fifths of sheltered homeless persons are disabled. 12 This demographic profile is likely to agree with commonly held perceptions about who is homeless in the United States. But while accurate, these perceptions should not overlook sizable segments of the sheltered homeless population that are white, non-Hispanic (38 percent), children (20 percent), homeless together with at least one other person (33 percent), or veterans (12 percent). 11 12 Males represent 63 percent of the sheltered adult population and 61 percent of all sheltered homeless people. The gender of children who are homeless is almost evenly split between males and females, similar to the overall U.S. population. According to HUD’s HMIS Data and Technical Standards (69 FR 45888, July 30, 2004), a disabling condition includes a diagnosable substance abuse disorder. However, the U.S. Census Bureau does not include substance abuse disorders as a form of disability, and thus the broader definition used by HUD is likely to result in larger estimates of homeless persons with disabilities compared to the U.S. poverty and general population. 24 Chapter 3: Sheltered Homeless People in 2008

If a person is part of multiple households or the household size changed during the reporting period, the household size reflects the size of the first household in which the person presented during the one-year reporting time period. Veteran and disability status are recorded only for adults in HMIS. The percentage calculations shown indicate the percent of homeless adults with this characteristic. Numerous records were missing information on disability status (22.0 percent) and veteran status (7.5 percent) in 2008. The percentage calculations include only persons whose disability and veteran status was known.
