I. Introduction

The Point in Time (PIT) study is an annual count of homeless individuals and families.

This study is conducted across the country and Colorado has participated in this study every

year. The count of homeless people assists in the US Department of Housing and Urban

Development’s (HUD) assessment of the needs of the current homeless population. This report

is a summary of Colorado’s Balance of State Continuum of Care. The Balance of State area

includes all counties in Colorado except Metro Denver and Colorado Springs. The Point in Time

count was conducted for the night of January 26, 2016. Regional coordinators throughout the

Balance of State were responsible for recruiting volunteers, providing information to agencies

in their respective areas, and requesting agency participation. Of the 56 counties in the Balance

of State region, 21 participated in the collection of data for the 2016 PIT survey.

The PIT survey captures a snapshot of individuals and households currently experiencing

homelessness. The number of people who are homeless is not static. It is constantly changing

due to a number of economic, psychological, physical, and social factors that can have

temporary or long-term effects. HUD defines chronic homelessness as either having lived on

the streets or any place not meant for human habitation for more than one year, or having

slept on the street or any place not meant for human habitation more than four times over the

past three years, and having at least one identified disability. The following disabilities were

collected, via self-report, on the Point-In-Time: substance abuse, severe mental illness, chronic

physical illness, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI),

developmental disability, and HIV/AIDS. The current report highlights the key findings of the

Balance of State point-in-time survey. This summary includes information on risk factors and

demographic information of the current chronically homeless population. Methods and

limitations of the implementation and analysis of the point-in-time survey for the Balance of

State region will be discussed, as well as possible recommendations for the future.

II. Methodology

The forms and data collection process was designed by CCH, based on the HUD PIT Guidance

documents On January 26, 2016, service providers and other volunteers administered these

surveys to sheltered homeless people throughout the Balance of State. From these surveys data

were collected on the head of the household, as well as information for all family members. To

ensure unduplicated responses, the first three letters of each respondent’s first and last names

were reported for each family member. Variables collected from each respondent included

where he/she slept on January 26, 2016, incidence of homelessness and shelter use in the past

year, number of persons in the family, age, gender, veteran status, and incidence of disabilities

in the family.

There are a few limitations that should be noted as a result of the survey administration

techniques. First, due to the transient nature of the population and the large geographic area of

the Balance of State, it is extremely difficult to capture all homeless individuals and families.


Page | 7

Furthermore, not all homeless service providers in the Balance of State participated in the

survey. Therefore, the following findings should be considered as an underrepresentation of

homelessness in the Balance of State. Second, many survey forms had missing or contradictory

information. Due to this missing information, some measures, such as incidence of disability,

may also be underrepresented. When contradictions arose, surveys were either corrected or

discarded, if necessary, to minimize error. Third, this survey is based on self-reporting, which

may introduce some bias in the data. For example, some people may not report a physical

disability even though most people would agree that the individuals have a disability. In

addition, there is a stigma associated with reporting mental health problems such as PTSD and

some individuals would not report PTSD even though most professionals would agree that the

individuals have PTSD.

III. Findings

In the Colorado Balance of State Continuum of Care there were 1689 homeless women,

men and children counted on January 26, 2016. Of these 1689 homeless people, 182 (10.8%)

were considered chronically homeless.

DEMOGRAPHICS

1. Family Type There were 843 adults-only families, 621 families with at least one adult and one child, 73

families of youth with their children, 75 unaccompanied youth, 2 families of adults and youth,

and 75 families composed of individuals from all three age groups. There were no families of

unaccompanied youth under 18.

Table 1: Family Type by Chronic Homelessness

2. Age

Respondents reported the age ranges (under 18; 18-24; above 24) for themselves and

family members. Exact ages were not asked; therefore, average ages cannot be reported. The

majority of respondents (n=1090, 64.5%) were over 24 years old. According to the National

Center on Family Homelessness, approximately 36% of the total homeless population (note: not

necessarily chronically homeless) is estimated to be children (2011). In comparison, 27% of the

Balance of State population was children.

RISK FACTORS

1. Disabilities

Respondents were asked to report lifetime incidence for all family members of

substance abuse, serious mental illness, chronic physical illness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,

traumatic brain injury, developmental disability, and HIV/AIDS. The most reported disability

was chronic physical illness (n=265, 15.7%). For all respondents, 601 (35.6%) reported having

multiple disabilities (2 or more).

Table 4: Disabilities - All Respondents

Self-identified disabilities had implications for chronic homelessness. Additionally,

Charts 4 illustrates that 29% of respondents with reported mental illness, 32.9% of individuals

with a substance use disorder, 23.4% of respondents reporting a chronic physical illness, 28.7%

of respondents reporting a developmental disability, 28.3% of respondents reporting PTSD, and

27.4% of those reporting TBI met criteria for chronic homelessness, respectively.

2. Veteran Status

Each respondent was asked if he/she had ever served in the armed forces. The majority

of respondents reported “no” (n=1556, 92.1%). Of the 133 that reported “yes,” 16.5% (n=22)

met criteria for chronic homelessness. In addition, there were only 9 female veterans surveyed.

Chart 11: Veteran status by Chronic Homelessness

Summary

Homelessness continues to be a critical issue in communities across Colorado. In fact,

both homelessness and chronic homelessness appear to have increased substantially from

2013. There was a 50% increase in the number of people reported as homeless from 2013 to

2015 in the Balance of State in Colorado. While not all counties reported in either year, fewer

counties reported in the 2015 survey. Many of the counties that reported in both years showed

an increase in the number of people who were homeless in 2015. Consequently, it is likely that

there has been an increase in homelessness from 2013 to 2015 in the Balance of the State in

Colorado. Also, the number of people who are chronically homeless has increased from 534 to

758 in 2015. The majority of the people who were chronically homeless were adults (25 years

and older), male, and single. This trend is consistent with national data from HUD (AHAR, 2009).

Only people in emergency shelters and transitional housing programs are included in

the 2016 survey. There was very little change in the number of reported sheltered homeless

people from 2015 to 2016 (1716 in 2015; 1689 in 2016). However, there was a 28% increase in

the reported number of sheltered homeless people from 2013 to 2016. Also, the percentage of

homeless people considered chronically homeless was 10.8% in this survey. Last year (2015)


Page | 13

the percentage was 13%. In 2013 the percentage was 15%. Consequently, there has been a

slight drop in the percentage of homeless people considered chronically homeless since 2013.

There are recommendations for future Point in Time studies for the Balance of State.

First, there were a number of homeless service agencies, and counties that didn’t participate in

the survey. Therefore, generalizing results to the entire Balance of State geographical area is

difficult. Increasing agency participation would create a more comprehensive overview of

homelessness in Colorado. Also, the data on disabilities could be improved. There were

missing data for disability on some of the forms. Also, it is likely that the reported data

underrepresents the number of people with disabilities. Improved data would provide a more

accurate assessment of community needs and would help to demonstrate the seriousness of

homelessness. The participation of more agencies and more counties would also establish the

basis for a greater collaboration on efforts to reduce homelessness.

Other measures may be under-represented because some form items can only apply to

the head of household. For example, the sleeping location of the family was not assumed for

subsequent household members based on the head of household’s response.
