Provides information about homelessness in Arizona as it attempts to recognize the similarities and differences in demographic characteristics of subgroups that make up the homeless population, as well as the similarities and differences in the issues that impact homelessness in the various regions of our state. Homelessness, in most cases, is a temporary circumstance and not a permanent condition which makes homelessness difficult to quantify. Includes numbers of people served in various programs throughout geographically diverse regions of the state as well as comparisons with national data and research projects which have attempted to quantify the causes and impact of homelessness. It is intended to serve as an important resource for all stakeholders working to prevent and end homelessness.
This study summarizes and analyzes the findings of a statewide survey conducted last year of samples of homeless individuals in the Phoenix and Tucson areas and across the state. The aim of this report is to join with other, ongoing efforts to develop effective policies concerning such issues as job training, treatment for the mentally ill and Arizona’s critical need for affordable housing. Hopefully, it will help politicians and policymakers talk more openly and productively about a pervasive social problem that is both glaringly obvious and largely invisible.
