CHANGES IN HOMELESSNESS FROM 2005 TO 2007
A closer look at the homelessness numbers, with a focus on
decreases and increases at the state and local levels.
JA NUA RY 2009
The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonpartisan, mission-driven
organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United
States. The Alliance works collaboratively with the public, private, and nonprofit
sectors to build state and local capacity, leading to stronger programs and policies
that help communities achieve their goal of ending homelessness. Guiding our
work is A Plan, Not a Dream: How to End Homelessness in Ten Years. This plan
identifies our nation’s challenges in addressing the problem and lays out practical
steps our nation can take to change its present course and truly end
homelessness within 10 years.
The Homelessness Research Institute, the research and education arm of the
National Alliance to End Homelessness, works to end homelessness by building
and disseminating knowledge that drives policy change. The goals of the Institute
are to build the intellectual capital around solutions to homelessness; to advance
data and research to ensure that policymakers, practitioners, and the caring public
have the best information about trends in homelessness and emerging solutions;
and to engage the media to ensure intelligent reporting on the issue of
homelessness.

Preface
A WORD ABOUT
THE RECENT ECONOMIC CRISIS
T
his report analyzes homeless count data collected in January 2007 and compares
those data to homeless counts collected in January 2005. The report reveals that
some progress has been made toward ending homelessness nationally and in individual
states, as well as among homeless subpopulations. These data represent the most recent
comprehensive homeless counts. The progress documented in this report occurred during a time of both relative economic stability and increased commitment by states and
communities toward ending homelessness.
Now, the circumstances surrounding the United States and global economies, including elements known to impact homelessness, have changed dramatically. Problems in the housing and mortgage markets have led to a national recession and global economic crisis.
Recent economic indicators are projecting increases in unemployment and poverty rates1.
If these projections are realized, they will undoubtedly lead to increases in the number of
homeless households and households at risk of homelessness. Already, there are reports in
the national news of increasing utilization of homeless services by individuals and families.
Unfortunately, the economic crisis poses a threat to the local governments and nonprofits
that are attempting to respond to this increasing demand for homelessness services.
The next count will occur at the end of January 2009 and will provide a clearer picture of
how the current crisis has affected the number of people who experience homelessness.
In the meantime, this report provides the best possible assessment of national trends in
homelessness and provides a useful backdrop for interpreting the new counts.
The Movement to
End Homelessness
I
n 2000, the National Alliance to End Homelessness released the report A Plan, Not a
Dream: How to End Homelessness in Ten Years, and in 2003 the federal government

challenged communities to create plans to end chronic homelessness. Since that time
over 300 communities have taken up that challenge, and more than 220 have completed
their plans to end homelessness. The majority of these communities did not limit their
goals to eradicating chronic homelessness, but instead established plans to end homelessness in all of its forms. To this expanded end, many communities outlined strategies
to address the unique issues associated with various subpopulations such as families, elderly, veterans, youth, and ex-offenders. 2
While there are still far too many people without permanent housing in the United States,
the movement to end homelessness is making progress. Hundreds of communities are
retooling their homeless assistance systems using Housing First approaches and are executing their local plans to end homelessness. At the federal level, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is targeting resources to permanent housing, and both
Congress and the Executive Branch have made commitments to end chronic homelessness.
The HUD homeless programs have funded operating costs for 60,000 new units of permanent supportive housing for homeless people with disabilities, out of the 150,000 needed.
Importantly, for the first time in the history of our national homelessness problem, there
are data available to estimate changes in homelessness over time. While these data, collected by communities from across the country, have numerous limitations and should
be taken as estimates, rather than a precise census, they reveal a 10 percent decline
nationally in homelessness from 2005 to 2007 and larger percentage declines among families and chronically homeless adults. These overall and subpopulation declines are likely
the result of real progress in helping homeless individuals and families get back into housing, but are also affected by changes in data collection methods. Although there is still
much work ahead, we should view these declines as early progress.
Measuring Progress
I
n 2007, the National Alliance to End Homelessness released Homelessness Counts, 3 a
study that analyzed local data and created a national estimate of homelessness in the
United States. The report laid the groundwork for measuring efforts to end homelessness
by establishing a baseline number of homeless people from which to monitor changes.
Measuring progress is important because it helps policymakers to understand the scope of
the problem, to identify communities that are showing results and those that are falling
behind, and to identify those interventions that are working to end homelessness. This
report is a follow-up to Homelessness Counts, which used data collected in 2005. Here we
analyze changes in homelessness from 2005 to 2007, looking more closely at changes at
the state level and among homeless subpopulations. This report focuses on community

point-in-time counts because only these counts cover all states and territories and on the
years 2005 and 2007 because all of the Continuums of Care (CoCs), the local or regional
bodies that coordinate funding and services for homeless people, completed homelessness counts in those years. The period from 2005 to 2007 marks the first time in the history of homelessness that we can estimate nationwide changes in the homeless population.
The estimates included in this report, a tabulation of local point-in-time counts collected
by CoCs across the country, are adjusted for data summary errors, inaccurate outliers, and
data omissions. 4 While these data have numerous limitations and caveats, including
changes in data collection methods from 2005 to 2007 and increases in coverage (see
Appendix A), they are the best available at this time. Moving forward, policymakers
should continue to invest in technical assistance to help communities improve their local
point-in-time counts and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data. And
policymakers should continue to use the data, which will lead to more accountability and
improved data collection methods. Ultimately, better data will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the homelessness problem and its solutions and assist policymakers in focusing on those solutions.
The national picture of decreased homelessness over the two-year period 2005 to 2007
should not be interpreted to mean that all communities and states have experienced similar declines. To the contrary, almost half of the CoCs (44 percent) reported increases in
homelessness, and over one-third of states (36 percent) reported increases. Because much
of the policy that affects homelessness outcomes is designed at the state and local levels,
the variation across communities and states is as much of the story as the estimates of
national improvement. Changes at the state and CoC levels are addressed in “Homelessness
by State” and in the sidebar, “A Closer Look at Communities.” These state- and local-level
decreases and increases are the cumulative result of a number of factors: changes in housing and homelessness policy and practices, demographic changes, economic factors, and
other external factors. While it is the goal of the Alliance to be able to determine the degree
to which changes in homelessness at the state and local levels are attributable to policy, practices, and other internal or external factors, the current data are not sufficient to support the
identification of reasons for increases and decreases in each state or local community.

Notes: The 2005 numbers are an adjusted tabulation of 2005 CoC point-in-time estimates. These data were
adjusted and corrected for data entry errors, summation errors, and outliers that were based on unscientific
extrapolations or states that did not follow HUD’s guidance for counting homeless people. Please see Homelessness Counts, National Alliance to End Homelessness (2007), available at www.endhomelessness.org for more
information on these adjustments.
night in January 2007 (Table 1). In addition, some homeless subpopulations experienced
even larger percentage decreases. Chronic homelessness fell by almost 30 percent, from
171,192 persons to 123,790 persons, and persons in homeless families decreased by 18
percent, from 303,524 to 248,511. A review of Table 1 and Exhibit 1 reveals that decreases
are reported among the subcategories detailed in this report.
It is important to note that these estimates provide a national snapshot of people who
are homeless at a point in time (usually a night during the last week in January). Many
more people are homeless over the course of the year (see the sidebar, “ Annual
Counts” ).

stimates of homelessness 5 and homelessness incidence 6 were presented for the
first time for each state and territory in Homelessness Counts. This allowed policymakers at the state and local levels to identify the extent of the problem nationally and
in their communities. In this version of the report, we are expanding the amount of
state-level data presented to allow a more complete assessment of the homelessness
problem in each state. In addition to total homelessness estimates and homeless incidence, we are including rates of change from 2005 to 2007 and estimates for several
subpopulations.
Table 2 and Map 1 provide homelessness estimates by state. The state totals were created by aggregating the CoC estimates within each state. Not surprisingly, the largest
5
Homelessness estimates refer to the number of people who were homeless on a given night in January 2007,
as estimated by CoCs and summed to create state and national estimates.
6 Homelessness incidence refers to the representation of the state homelessness estimates as a fraction of the
state population. These estimates are presented here per 10,000.

states—California, New York, and Texas—also had the largest counts of homeless persons in 2007. The homelessness incidence estimates, presented in Table 2 and Map 2,
provide better comparisons across states because the incidence estimates account for
differences in population across states. Nevada, Hawaii, Oregon, and California
reported the highest incidence of homelessness. With 49 homeless people per every

all reported low incidences of homelessness. With 5 homeless people per 10,000 people in the state population, Mississippi reported the lowest incidence of homelessness.
Among territories and the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., Guam, and the Virgin Islands had very high rates of homelessness, with Washington, D.C. reporting the
highest.
Table 2 and Map 3 provide changes in homelessness by state. In 64 percent of the states
and territories, the homelessness estimates decreased, with Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, South
Dakota, and New Mexico reporting the highest decreases in homelessness. The fact that
most states experienced decreases is consistent with the overall assessment of a national
decline in homelessness. However, in 36 percent of the states and U.S territories, the estimates went up. Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Maryland reported the biggest
increases. At 63.3 percent, Kentucky reported the largest state-level increase. This analysis cannot explain why homelessness increased or decreased in particular states. In some
states, it appears that the changes in homelessness were the result of methodological
changes. For example, both Texas and North Carolina increased the coverage area; therefore, when the CoCs did their annual counts, they covered a wider geography. But, most
states that experienced increases have not modified their coverage area. The estimates
and the changes from 2005 to 2007 should be used as a starting point for further investigation and explanation into why the estimates changed.

A Closer Look at Communities
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to conduct a
count of their homeless population every other year. Using a range of methodologies, communities count
both their sheltered and unsheltered populations and submit the estimates to HUD. The quality of community counts is uneven, with some jurisdictions using more rigorous methods than others. However, there
have been significant efforts from HUD to provide guidance and increase technical assistance to help local
communities collect accurate estimates.
This report tabulates, summarizes, and compares data from CoC point-in-time counts conducted in 2005 and
2007. There are numerous difficulties to counting homeless people, including definitional issues, finding
homeless people, data collection and enumeration methods, sampling and extrapolation, de-duplicating, and
differing time frames. Additionally, because it is up to each CoC to design a data collection method that meets
local needs, each point-in-time count has its own limitations, which are not described here. One noted drawback in using the CoC data is that communities can, and many do, change their data collection methodologies
from year to year. In addition, many of the CoCs change geography from year to year (see Appendix A).
Communities across the country experienced a mix of increases and decreases in their local homeless population. Of the 433 CoCs that reported data in both 2005 and 2007, little more than half (56 percent) reported
decreases in the total number of homeless people within their jurisdiction. Among the 244 CoCs that experienced a decrease, homelessness declined by 147,005 people. The reported declines ranged from 1 person to
9,981 people, with a median decline of 172. At face value, most of these declines appear reasonable—meaning
that they appear achievable within a two-year time frame and are not obviously due to changes in data collection methods. There were, however, several CoCs that reported declines that accounted for a sizable share of
the total decline. Eight of these CoCs are shown in Table 3. A closer look at the reported changes shows that
some CoCs were reporting adjustments to their data, rather than real declines in homelessness. Rhode Island,
for example, incorrectly reported an annual number in 2005 instead of the requested point-in-time number.
In 2007, Rhode Island correctly reported a point-in-time number, which at first glance appears to be an enormous reduction in homelessness. Not all large declines are due to this type of adjustment. Some are due to a
combination of methodological changes, more accurate reporting, and real changes in homelessness.
Approximately 44 percent of CoCs experienced an increase in homelessness between 2005 and 2007. The
total increase among the CoCs reporting increases was 66,958 people. The increases ranged from 1 person to
8,319 people, with a median increase of 121. Some of these increases are real; however, as with examining
communities with decreases, these numbers should be handled with caution. As communities continue to
improve the accuracy of their counts, both adjustments and real changes in levels of homelessness will be
reflected in the counts.

Sheltered and
Unsheltered
T
he CoC estimates provide data on how many homeless people are living in shelters
(this includes emergency shelters and transitional housing) and how many homeless people are literally sleeping on the street or other places not meant for human habitation (e.g., cars, woods, campsites, abandoned buildings). The 2007 estimates show that
58 percent (or 391,399 people) were living in homeless shelters or transitional housing,
and 42 percent (or 280,460) were unsheltered (Exhibit 2).
Because the estimates were taken in January and many communities take emergency
action when temperatures drop below freezing by providing additional hypothermia prevention beds, it is unsettling and unacceptable that such a large number of people were
still found sleeping outside or in other places not meant for habitation during the winter
months. Unsheltered homeless people

tence of unused emergency shelter and

the unused capacity. A number of CoCs reported a high proportion of unsheltered
homeless people. Most of these CoCs are located in warm weather locations such as
Florida and California. A closer look at the emergency shelter needs in these locations

is necessary. Map 4 shows the percentage of unsheltered homeless people across the
United States.
Among states and territories, there is a wide variation in the degree to which the homeless
population is unsheltered. The unsheltered percentage for individual states is shown in
Appendix B. The states with the highest unsheltered percentages were California, Nevada,
and Michigan, all of which had percentages at or over 60 percent. Among territories, the
Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico had three of the highest unsheltered percentages,
Annual Counts
While point-in-time counts provide an estimate of how many people are homeless at a given
time, there are far more people who are homeless over the course of the year. The Department of Housing and Urban Development released the first annual count of the sheltered
homeless population in 2008. This report revealed 1.6 million persons living in emergency
shelter and transitional housing over the course of 12 months (October 1, 2006 to September 20, 2007).9 This annual estimate does not include persons living on the street, in cars,
in abandoned buildings, or in other places not meant for human habitation, nor does it
include those individuals and families who were staying in shelters for victims of domestic
violence. This estimate should be of particular interest to policymakers when determining
annual funding for federal programs aimed at preventing and ending homelessness.

with 87 percent, 86 percent, and 68 percent, respectively. Maine had the lowest unsheltered
percentage in the country with just over 2 percent of its homeless population unsheltered.
Rhode Island had the second lowest percentage with fewer than 4 percent of its homeless
population unsheltered. South Dakota, New York, and Pennsylvania follow, all with unsheltered percentages less than 10 percent. Additionally, the District of Columbia had one of
the lowest percentages, with only 6 percent of its homeless population living on the street.

his report makes the distinction between homeless individuals and homeless persons who are members of families. Most people who experience homelessness are
individuals, who represented 63 percent of the total homeless population in the January
2007 point-in-time count. Homelessness among individuals decreased 3 percent, from
437,710 in January 2005 to 423,348 in January 2007.
While the number of homeless individuals decreased by only 3 percent, the number of
individuals identified as chronically homeless declined by 28 percent—from 171,192 in
January 2005 to 123,790 in January 2007 (see Exhibit 3). Chronically homeless adults are
defined as individuals with a disability
who have been homeless for long periods

Estimates of Non-Chronically Homeless Individuals
The number of homeless individuals has declined overall by 3 percent since 2005. In January 2007, there were 423,348 homeless individuals compared with 437,710 in 2005. However, the number of homeless individuals who are not chronically homeless increased over
the last two years, from 266,518 in 2005 to 300,313 in 2007. Non-chronically homeless
individuals are a large portion of the total homeless population and are the one homeless
subpopulation for which there is a reported increase at the national level. Few studies have
been conducted on this growing population. This population includes persons who become
homeless for short periods of time due to losing their jobs, homes, or other financial supports. Increased research on reasons for this increase is needed.
increase the stock of permanent supportive housing targeted to chronically homeless people, one would expect a decrease in this population. And in a number of places, decreases
in chronic homelessness have had a visible effect on the street. 10,11
Caution about the homeless point-in-time counts is particularly important when estimating the number of chronically homeless people, because identifying chronic homelessness has inherent difficulties. Identifying chronically homeless adults using existing
point-in-time count methods involves homeless individuals both knowing and reporting
to a data collector that they fit the definition of chronic homelessness or asking the data
collector to make that assessment based on interview questions. As a result, estimates of
the number of chronically homeless adults suffer from reliability problems. Trend data
showing the numbers going down over a longer time period (three to five years) will bring
increased confidence that these estimates are evidence of a true decrease in chronic
homelessness.
Changes in chronic homelessness estimates and chronic homelessness as a percentage of
total homelessness are shown in Appendix B for each state. The states with the highest
rates of chronic homelessness are West Virginia, Mississippi, California, and Utah. West
Virginia had the highest rate, with almost 48 percent of homeless people being chronically homeless. Maine had the lowest rate of chronic homelessness, with less than 4 perHomeless Veterans
In November 2007, the Alliance released the first report to quantify the number of homeless veterans at the national and state level. This report detailed the strategies needed to end
homelessness among veterans. That report used 2005 data. An update that included 2007
data was published in 2008 and estimated the number of homeless veterans at 154,000. For
more detailed information about homelessness among veterans and its solutions, see Vital

cent. Other states with low rates of chronic homelessness were Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, and Wyoming. Widespread changes in methodology for identifying the chronically
homeless from 2005 to 2007 prevent more detailed analysis into the reasons for these
state-level variations.

H
omelessness among persons in families with children declined 18 percent, from
303,524 in January 2005 to 248,511 in January 2007 (Table 1). 13 The number of
homeless family households declined by 14,517 (or 15 percent), from 98,452 in January
2005 to 83,935 in January 2007 (see Table 1). Additionally, persons in families with children represented a smaller share of the total homeless population in 2007 than they did
in 2005. In 2005, 41 percent of the homeless population was made up of persons in families with children. By 2007, however, this had decreased to 37 percent (see Exhibit 4).
There were even more pronounced
decreases among unsheltered persons in
families with children. The number of
unsheltered homeless persons in families with children decreased by 30 percent, from 101,326 in 2005 to 70,628 in
2007. In 2007, unsheltered persons in
families represented 28 percent of all
homeless persons in families, down from
33 percent in 2005. While this reduction
shows progress, it is unacceptable that
any families with children are living on
the streets or in other places not meant
for human habitation.

and territories experienced decreases in family homelessness ranging from 1 to 84 percent and that the remaining states reported mostly modest increases.
Communities across the country are implementing strategies to end family homelessness,
including increasing permanent housing options for families and Housing First initiatives.
Approximately 49 percent of plans to end homelessness specify families as a target subpopulation. The recent emphasis on ending homelessness among families has resulted in
progress.
Conclusion
T
his report shows that far too many people remain homeless in the United States,
many of whom are unsheltered—living on the street or in other places not meant
for human habitation. The report also underscores the difficultly in counting homeless
people and highlights some of the challenges with data collection methods. Nevertheless, for the first time ever, communities are collecting enough data to measure progress
in ending homelessness. While most communities and states have made progress toward
ending homelessness, there are still far too many people who are homeless in the United
States and too many communities where there is no evidence of progress.
These data are intended to help policymakers understand the size and scope of the problem and further promote the implementation of effective strategies to end homelessness
in all communities across the country. The data available at the time of this publication
do not reflect those households that were affected by the recent economic crisis. The
point-in-time counts conducted at the end of January 2009 may reveal that more people,
likely those who were already precariously housed or in some other way at risk, have
become homeless. Policymakers at all levels—community, state, and federal—should
consider the evidence of progress from 2005 to 2007 and the likely increases in homelessness in 2009 when making decisions about our safety net programs aimed at preventing
people from becoming homeless and shortening the length of time they stay homeless.

Appendix A:
A Note about the
Recent Geographical
Changes
In 2005, 462 CoCs reported data to HUD, all of which were then included in Homelessness
Counts. In 2007, 461 CoCs reported data to HUD. While a large majority of CoCs remained
unchanged between 2005 and 2007, some shifted. There were 24 CoCs that were absorbed
by another CoC in 2007. That is, they existed on their own in 2005, but in 2007 their geography was covered by a different CoC. For example, CT-511 Litchfield County submitted
an application in 2005 that included their homelessness population chart. In 2007, that
county joined the Connecticut Balance of State Continuum of Care (CT-505) and the number of homeless people living in Litchfield County was then counted as part of the Balance of State. There were 20 other CoCs that joined Balances of State in North Carolina,
Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Virginia, and Puerto Rico. 14 Three other CoCs joined other counties or regional CoCs when submitting their 2007 application for funding: Steuben County
in New York (NY-506), which joined Elmira/Chemung County (NY-510); Clarksville/MidCumberland in Tennessee (TN-505), which joined the larger Central Tennessee CoC (TN503); and Aguadilla in Puerto Rico (PR-505), which joined South/Southeast Puerto Rico
(PR-503).
To make accurate comparisons between years, there were adjustments that needed to
be made among the 2005 CoCs. It would be erroneous to compare the Connecticut Balance of State of 2007, for example, with its geographically smaller version of 2005. To
account for this, we merged the 2005 CT-511 Litchfield County with the 2005 Balance of
State. In Texas and North Carolina, this was done as well, but the 2007 geographic area
is not the same as that which was created for 2005. Both states have new Balance of State
CoCs that cover regions previously not represented. Much of Texas in 2005 did not belong
to any CoC and thus did not report any data on homelessness. Because of this, data for
the Texas and North Carolina Balances of State should be considered baseline figures.
Though they have 2005 comparison data, the area covered in 2007 is much larger than
that of 2005.

14 All of the baseline numbers included in this report are from Homelessness Counts, National Alliance to End
Homelessness (2007).
