A Research Report on Homelessness
Thank you to all our networking partners and members
for your continued your interest in collaborating to raise awareness about homelessness. The Georgia Alliance To End Homelessness is very excited to work with all of you and release this new National Alliance To End Homelessness comprehensive report to our Georgia network and help leverage additional attention to the issue.
We encourage you to take a closer look at this report and dig through the many findings, especially the state-specific data and major national findings.
The State of Homelessness in America, the first report of its kind, investigates the changes in homelessness across the country. In addition, the National Alliance To End Homelessness examines economic indicators and demographic drivers of homelessness, examining how eight factors contribute to increased risk of homelessness among vulnerable populations.This new report documents the 2009 levels and 2008 to 2009 changes in homelessness and related economic and demographic indicators. Interactive maps for each measure have been developed, showing 2009 levels and 2008 to 2009 changes for each state.

| Since the release of Homelessness Counts: Changes in Homelessness from 2005 to 2007, the National Alliance To End Homelessness has chronicled changes in the levels of homelessness in the nation and in individual states and communities to chart our progress toward the goal of ending homelessness. This comprehensive examination not only reveals national and state level homeless counts, but also delves into economic indicators and demographic drivers - taking an in-depth look at risk factors for homelessness. Built upon the most recent nationally available data from the federal Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Justice, and other public information sources, this report analyzes the effect the recession has had on homelessness and how it has contributed to an increased risk of homelessness for many Americans. |
