Section 5.9.1n

5.9.1n - Estimated Number of Clients With or Without a Place to Live

Table 5.9.1N translates selected findings about housing into total numbers of A2H clients.

Table 5.9.1n
ESTIMATED NUMBER OF CLIENTS WITH OR WITHOUT A PLACE TO LIVE
  Adult Clients Who Pick Up Food at a Pantry Adult Clients at a Kitchen Adult Clients at a Shelter Adult Clients
Clients with their own housing 7,095,600 810,700 150,660 8,056,960
Clients without a place to live 204,600 289,300 469,340 963,040
Estimated Total Number of Clients at Program Sites 7,300,000 1,100,000 620,000 9,020,000

As shown, more than 0.9 million A2H clients do not have a permanent place to live.

  • This includes approximately 0.2 million pantry clients and 0.3 million kitchen clients.
  • As might be expected, homelessness is particularly concentrated among the shelter clients, nearly half a million of whom lack permanent housing.
