For persons in rural areas who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, describe the nature and extent of unsheltered and sheltered homelessness with the jurisdiction:
If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth): Based upon 2013 PIT survey data, there were 399 homeless persons in the area, of which 10 were children under the age of 18 years old, 59 were young adults between the ages of 18 and 24, and 330 were adults age 25 and older. Only 5% (20 individuals) were identified as being chronically homeless, 7.7% (31 individuals) were veterans, 20% (80 individuals) had a chronic substance abuse problem, 14% (54 individuals) were severely mentally ill, 6.7% were victims of domestic violence, and 1.5% were individuals living with HIV/AIDS. The large majority of individuals (82%) self-reported as having access to emergency or transitional shelter. Nature and Extent of Homelessness: (Optional)
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. Table 25 shows that of all persons identified as homeless, there were 124 persons in households with children. The large majority were (98 or 79%) were sheltered and 21% were unsheltered. A total of 31 persons were identified as veterans with nearly 84% being sheltered and 16% unsheltered. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. According to the 2012 PIT Survey Report, approximately 41% of homeless persons are Black, 58% are White, and 1% is Hispanic. These rates are reported to have been constant since 2007. The overall nature of homelessness in the area tends to be emergency based rather than chronic. Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. The majority of survey respondents (82%) classified themselves as sheltered homeless with 40% indicating they stayed in an emergency shelter the night before, 42% reporting they had access to transitional shelter (stayed with a friend or relative), and 18% reporting that they were unsheltered (slept on the street). Calhoun County is 61% urban, therefore the large majority of homeless persons are located in urban areas.
