Single adults account for 83 percent of all people experiencing homelessness, persons <br />in families with children account for 15 percent, and unaccompanied minors account for two percent. <br />While gaps in emergency shelter resources exist for all populations in Lane County, the difference between the number <br />of people experiencing homelessness and the number of emergency shelter beds is greatest for single adults who account <br />for the majority of those experiencing homelessness, as evidenced in Chart 2 below. <br />CHART 2: NUMBER OF ES BEDS BY POPULATION <br />1500 <br />1200 <br />900 <br />600 <br />300 <br />0 FAMILIES SINGLE ADULTS CHILDREN ONLY <br /># OF DEDICATED ES BEDS <br /># OF PERSONS HOMELESS <br />OVERVIEW OF HOMELESS POPULATION IN LANE COUNTY <br />63 <br />251 <br />364 <br />1365 <br />12 25 <br />PAGE 4 <br />May 13, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item 1
