Information from that report is <br />included below and in Attachment A as additional background information on homelessness in Lane <br />County. The 2011 and 2012 “One Night Homeless Count” (Annual Highlights, Attachment B) <br />conducted in the Eugene/Springfield metro area is also provided below. “One Night Homeless Counts” <br />are done nationwide on a selected night each January. While the shelter count is completed each year, <br />the street count is only completed every other year. The last street count was done in 2011. The street <br />count includes people found on the streets, in parks, under bridges and freeway underpasses, and <br />sleeping in cars. The shelter count includes people found in emergency, transitional and safe haven <br />housing facilities. <br /> <br />Emergency housing facilities typically provide short-term shelter up to 60 days while transitional <br />housing provides housing up to 24 months. Transitional housing facilities also provide supportive <br />services such as childcare, job training, and home furnishings that help individuals live more <br />independently. Safe haven housing facilities are specialized permanent housing facilities that serve <br />hard-to-reach homeless persons with severe mental illness and other debilitating conditions. <br /> <br /> 2011 2012 <br />Emergency Housing 367 392 <br />Transitional Housing 338 259 <br />Safe Haven Housing 29 <br />Unsheltered 1,406 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120926\S120926B.doc <br />
