Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness
Covers the same geography as the Regional Commission service area (less Franklin County and Rocky Mount)
On January 25, 2009
597 Homeless Adults and Children
Needed Shelter
Homeless person comment 2009 PIT interview
Of the 597 people experiencing homelessness only 240 elected to participate in the survey.
Consistent with prior years practice, no children under the age of 18 participated in the survey
Without housing, stress multiplies on itself..
Sad that jobs are so scarce where you can’t find a job.
We can be responsible and accountable if things are affordable and livable.
The procedures used to collect information for this Point in Time Survey were consistent with those used in prior surveys
Homeless clients were interviewed by agency staff, the Homeless Assistance Team and other volunteers
100% of Shelters elected to participate in this survey
