Capital Area Coalition on Homelessness (CACH) recently released the 2009 Point in Time Survey of individuals and families who experience homelessness and the services requested. A network of 23 agencies and 34 programs conducted a 24-hour survey from noon on January 28 to noon on January 29, 2009 to study the number of persons and families seeking homeless related services in the Capital Area. These organizations are members of CACH, an extensive collaboration of nonprofit agencies, city, county, and federal government representatives, business and foundations who are addressing homelessness in Dauphin County. The Point in Time survey tracked participants through the use of anonymous identifiers to determine the services requested at different locations by one individual, as well as an unduplicated count of clients requesting multiple services. A total of 439 survey responses were collected with an unduplicated count of 433 adult and 182 children for a total of 615 homeless adults and children. Basic client information information was gathered on gender, ethnicity, family size, marital status, residence of origin, sources of income and veteran status. Additional questions were posed related to participants’ current homeless situation, reasons for homelessness, and the pervasiveness of their homeless situation. A final set of questions queried client needs and services requested or rendered. The work of the Capital Area Coalition on Homelessness is underwritten by financial support from the City of Harrisburg, County of Dauphin, The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, and United Way of the Capital Region. 2006 Annual Report 2006 990 Form 2007 990 Form 2008 990 Form To request a copy of any of the above publications, click here.
