  • et specific sub-populations (such as veterans or women), and their inclusion or exclusion may skew the overall values in particular questions. This report does not include or purport to extrapolate about persons that are served by “victim service providers” including rape crisis centers, battered women’s shelters, domestic violence transitional housing programs, and other programs whose primary mission is to provide services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
  • 1 Families are defined as any household that includes at least one adult over 18 years old and one child who is younger than 18 years old. All other persons, including those in multi-person households consisting of only adults or only children, are reported as single individuals.
  • 2 Other factors, such as nightly counts that far exceeded the reported number of beds in the community, may also have caused data to have been excluded from the AHAR.

  • Of course, simply getting people off the streets doesn't mean St. Louis has solved the problem of homelessness - a complex social ailment with a variety of deep-rooted causes. But the strides the city has made are remarkable. 'What's been done in St. Louis is very innovative and deserves to be replicated," says Michael Mayer, director of programs for the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

  • Today, St. Louis has made enormous progress. "There's no reason anyone has to sleep on the street in St. Louis anymore; Terranova says. In fact, some 10,000 men, women and children use its shelters over the course of a year. Inevitably, some people-many of whom are mentally' ill and substance abusers - will decline services. But by keeping facilities safe and clean, St. Louis has managed to reduce that number to a bare minimum.
  • n 1993 the city expects to contribute $2.5 million of its own funds and to receive twice that much from private sources to attack the problem. Last July, St. Louis began funding the Homeless Resource Bank, which acts as a warehouse for in-kind donations including food, furniture and baby equipment. By the end of 1992 it had received about $155,000 worth of household goods.
  • Kim Hopper, a research scientist with the Nathan Kline Institute in Orangeburg, N.Y., has studied homelessness extensively. "The biggest dropped ball nationally; he says, "has been the lack of coordination in the deployment of resources by housing and development agencies and those that provide clinical and support services in psychiatry, health and substance abuse. If you get housing or services in the community without the other pieces, the investment turns out to be worthless:'
  • Efficiency is key. Until the late 1980s St. Louis was like many cities in its use of the "mission model" for its shelters. Two sets of shelters were maintained. At 6 a.m., when nighttime shelters closed, the homeless were transported to daytime shelters, where children were picked up for school and later dropped off, before everyone was shifted back to the night shelter. "It was musical chairs; says Dorothy Dalley, director of the Homeless Services Program, part of the city's Department of Human Services. "We've now gone to 24-hour shelters with satellite centers for classes and day care within the shelters themselves. We've cut down substantially on our need for transportation,"
  • "The common mistake has been to treat homelessness like a transient emergency," says researcher Hopper. "The sense of urgency may have been transient, but the crisis persists:

    Who- Some 10,000 people had to go to a shelter of some sort.  What- Ever since 1993, 2.5 Million Dollars has been donated to shelters for homeless people. 24 Hour shelters have been made for people to live in until they decide to leave. People are trying to stick up for people who are homeless. When- People are building shelters today so this crisis doesn't continue. Where- A lot of shelters, like National Alliance to End Homelessness, and others like it. Why- Build more shelters, donate money to support the causes to get rid of homelessness.

  • The Community Council conducts a yearly count in St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln counties, and this year it found 830 people living in encampments, under bridges or in abandoned buildings. That's up from 593 last year.
  • Volunteers also found that an additional 254 people were doubling up in housing with a friend or relative, and 636 were in unstable housing, meaning they are staying at one place for only a few days before moving to the next temporary lodging.
  • I know I felt that way. When I think of cities with a large number of homeless people, it's St. Louis

  • Once, many years ago, my mom told me the coldest she’d ever been was at a Carnival parade in February. It happened when she and my dad made their annual winter getaway to New Orleans. She said it was damp and gray, and she hadn’t packed her warm Illinois clothes for their trip.
