Description

Estimates of the homeless population in the U.S. vary widely. The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) notes that 610,042 people in the U.S. were homeless on a single night in Jan. 2013, and more than a third of these people were living in unsheltered locations, such as under bridges, in cars, or in abandoned buildings. The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty estimates that between 1.5 million and 3.5 million Americans experience homelessness in a given year. This report reviewed the implementation of Title V of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Since inception in 1987, the Title V homeless-assistance program has transferred 122 properties from federal agencies to homeless assistance providers. The report examines: (1) the identification and transfer of federal real property to homeless assistance providers; and (2) the benefits and challenges homeless assistance providers and national advocacy organizations reported in identifying, acquiring, and using federal real property, and the potential actions that could help to address these challenges. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
