<strong>The</strong> 2017 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress: Part 1<br />

• However, s<strong>in</strong>ce these data were collected <strong>in</strong><br />

2009, the number <strong>of</strong> veterans experienc<strong>in</strong>g<br />

homelessness has dropped considerably across<br />

all CoC categories. <strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> veterans<br />

experienc<strong>in</strong>g homelessness dropped by 31<br />

percent <strong>in</strong> major cities and by 29 percent <strong>in</strong><br />

both smaller cities, counties, and regional CoCs<br />

and BoS and statewide CoCs.<br />

• Between 2009 and 2017, both smaller cities,<br />

counties, and regional CoCs and BoS and<br />

statewide CoCs experienced larger decl<strong>in</strong>es<br />

<strong>in</strong> the numbers <strong>of</strong> veterans <strong>in</strong> unsheltered<br />

locations (44% and 40%, respectively) than <strong>in</strong><br />

sheltered locations (19% and 20%). In major<br />

cities the reverse was true. S<strong>in</strong>ce 2009 the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> veterans <strong>in</strong> shelter <strong>in</strong> major cities<br />

decl<strong>in</strong>ed by 43 percent, and by five percent <strong>in</strong><br />

unsheltered locations. This is due <strong>in</strong> large part<br />

to the recent uptick <strong>in</strong> unsheltered veterans <strong>in</strong><br />

major cities.<br />
