2011 Homelessness Counts Media Map

The National Alliance to End Homelessness released a new interactive map of point-in-time (PIT) counts conducted across the country in the last week of January. The 2011 Counts Media Map tracks changes in overall homelessness by using media articles and Continuum of Care (CoC) reports as they are published. The Alliance will continue to update the map as new reports are released.
The 2011 PIT counts will be the first count where both the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) and the federal strategic plan, Opening Doors, have had the opportunity to affect communities. While complete data for the 2011 and 2010 PIT counts are not yet available, the 2011 Counts Media Map is intended to provide a sense of the changing homelessness situation in communities across the country. If your community’s count is available but not listed, please email us directly to be included on the map.

Beyond Shelter: Ending Family Homelessness – Responding to America’s Challenges:

Beyond Shelter is a non-profit organization founded in 1988 in response to increasing numbers of homeless families in Los Angeles and the need for a more comprehensive approach to serving them. Today, the mission of the agency is to develop systemic approaches to combat poverty and homelessness among families with children, and to enhance family economic security and well-being. Beyond Shelter accomplishes this mission through the following strategies: (1) responsive service delivery, (2) people-centered community development, and (3) the creation of knowledge for social change.
