Vets remain under 10% of the total homeless population, but the numbers grew in proportion to the <br />overall growth in numbers. The number of chronically homeless vets is greater than last year even with <br />increased VASH vouchers. <br />The HOME Consortium has also expanded resources for families experiencing homelessness and seen <br />the number of homeless families drop by 63% from 462 in 2013, to 324 in 2015, to 270 in the 2017, then <br />to 170 in the 2019 Point -In -Time Count. While families make up only 6% of the Point -In -Time Count, <br />they make up 22% of homeless people served by the housing crisis response system over the course of <br />the year. This difference indicate that families stays in homelessness may be shorter than <br />unaccompanied adults and that our system resources are better matched to the needs of families. <br />Providers within the Consortium have also been awarded funds to rehouse homeless families on TANF <br />using money from the State of California award to the County Social Service Agency. ESG funds and <br />County general funds are also assisting families. <br />CAPER <br />18 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) <br />
