Homelessness is Significant,
Growing and Costly

• Nationally, approximately 3.5 million people experience homelessness each year.
  
  
• Although the chronically homeless make up approximately 10% of the total homeless population, they consume 50% of available resources.
  
  
• Before placement in supportive housing, homeless people with serious mental illnesses averaged $40, 451 per person in services each year. Placement in supportive housing reduced yearly services by $16,281 per person. (Culhane Study, 2002)
  
  
• A homeless prevention measure is easier on the individual, their families and the community. We can stem the tide by educating the vulnerable about resources available in the community - before they fall into the homeless population.
