Statistics on the homeless population are often hard to find. The good news is that a new report has been released by the Colorado Interagency Council on Homelessness. The Colorado Statewide Homeless Count has the results of a statewide survey conducted August 28, 2006. The report includes data on the reasons for homelessness, number of unsheltered homeless, race and ethnicity statistics, and homeless families.
The State Publications Library has several studies on homelessness in the Denver metro area which can be accessed online, or borrowed through interlibrary loan:
- Homelessness in the Denver metropolitan area : fourth homeless point in time study, January 27, 2003
- Homelessness in the Denver metropolitan area : fall point in time study, September 19, 2000
- Homelessness in the Denver metropolitan area : a base line point in time study, June 15, 1998
Other studies can be found by a keyword search for “homeless” in our library catalog.
