Single adults become homeless for numerous reasons. Many are disabled through a job or military <br />injury. Some have experienced abuse or homelessness for much of their lives. Others struggle with <br />addictions. Some simply do not possess the skills to earn enough money to afford a place to live. <br /> <br />Veterans are identified separately because they have unique situational problems. Many are profoundly <br />impacted by post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) or other emotional and physical disabilities. Many <br />have come back from war and find it impossible to recreate the life they left, become estranged from <br />society and turn to self-medication, using alcohol or drugs to remedy symptoms of distress and anxiety. <br /> <br />Income Limits 2007 <br /> <br />HOUSHOLD SIZE MEDIAN INCOME 80% OF MEDIAN 50% OF MEDIAN <br />(LOW INCOME) (VERY LOW) <br />1 $38,300 $30,650 $19,150 <br />2 $43,800 $35,000 $21,900 <br />3 $49,200 $39,400 $24,600 <br />4 $57,700 $43,750 $27,350 <br />5` $63,500 $47,250 $29,550 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2007 Council Agendas\M070625\S070625B.DOC <br />
