 Acknowledgements 

 This is the tenth Homeless Point‐in‐Time study conducted by The Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI) since 1998.  Linda Barringer and Pat Lease, Co‐Chairs of MDHI’s Research Committee, supervised the study.  The Denver Department of Human Services and Broomfield Department of Human Services contributed funding for this project.    MDHI identified people in each jurisdiction to help coordinate and to ensure that all providers within their jurisdiction were participating, attending training, and distributing and collecting survey forms.  The outstanding participation by all area providers in the 2011 survey was a direct result of the coordinated efforts of the following point persons:  

Adams County  Alicia Aguilar & Isabel Traver

Arapahoe County  Signy Mikita, Josh Meis, Keith Singer, Cara Tejada 

Aurora  Sharon Duwaik

Boulder County  Leslie Gibson & Agatha Moya

City and County of Broomfield  Sharon Farrell & Jan Hamilton

City and County of Denver  Sam Bowersox‐Daly and Amber Callender

Douglas County  Peter Ericson & Valerie Robson

Jefferson County  Linda Barringer, Jennifer Murphy, Rick Roberts 

Domestic Violence Providers  Wendy Oldenbrook

Outreach  Randle Loeb

Veterans  Pat Lease

Youth  Nicole Sherwood

 A special acknowledgement is made to Desta Taye‐Channell with Mile High United Way who assisted with volunteer recruitment for the Point in Time count.  A special thank you to Pat Lease for her many years of supervision, input and guidance in producing the Point‐In‐Time report.     

  

This study could not have been completed without the support and dedication  of the many homeless service providers throughout the Denver Metropolitan area.   A special note of thanks goes to the hard working individuals who strive to provide  

a decent and safe place for homeless people to live.  

Finally, this report would not have been possible without the cooperation of the survey respondents who completed surveys and provided us with confidential information  

about their experiences and reasons for homelessness.    Collectively, these survey responses provide all of us with a better understanding  

of the local magnitude of homelessness and the work that lies ahead of us  to ensure that all people in our community have a safe and decent place to call home.

Nature of Homelessness 

 

For the purpose of this study, people were considered “newly homeless” if they had been 

homeless for less than one year and this was their first episode of homelessness.  On January 

24, 2011, nearly one in four (23.7%) or 2,402 people, were considered newly homeless.  Of the 

newly homeless, fully two‐thirds (66.6%) were in households with children. 

 New this year, HUD includes families in its definition of chronically homeless.  There are 466 

chronically homeless respondents who meet HUD’s definition.  Slightly more than three‐

quarters (76.4%) are male.

Ending homelessness must begin with the understanding that people  

who are or have been homeless are our neighbors and members of our community. 

‐‐National Coalition for the Homeless 

 

 

On Monday night, January 24, 2011, there were an estimated 11,377 homeless men, women, 

and children in Metropolitan Denver. 

 

 

I.  INTRODUCTION  

With the help of volunteers, service providers, staff, and outreach workers, the Metropolitan 

Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI) conducted a point‐in‐time (PIT) study of homeless persons 

in the seven‐county Denver metropolitan area.  A point‐in‐time count provides a snapshot of 

homelessness by counting those who are homeless at a particular time.  However, surveyors 

can easily “miss” homeless individuals and families.   

 

The Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI) is a coalition working with homeless 

assistance agencies in the seven‐county Denver metropolitan area to coordinate the delivery of 

housing and services to homeless families, individuals, youth and persons with disabilities.  

MDHI seeks to provide the leadership, support and structure necessary to develop and sustain 

a comprehensive system of housing and services for those experiencing homelessness.  

Referred to as the Continuum of Care, this system encompasses Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, 

Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson Counties.  With emphasis on prevention, MDHI 

works to unite housing and service providers, neighborhoods, funders, business and non‐profit 

organizations, government agencies and other groups and individuals across the metropolitan 

area in an ongoing effort to break the cycle of homelessness and help homeless persons 

achieve and maintain maximum self‐sufficiency. 

 

Designing, implementing and maintaining a Continuum of Care homeless service delivery 

system requires the on‐going collection and analysis of data on the number, location and 

demographic characteristics of homeless persons who need access to emergency shelter, 

supportive housing, permanent housing and specialized services.  The U.S. Department of 

Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the primary source of federal funding for housing 

support for homeless people, requires that each Continuum of Care across the country conduct 

a “point‐in‐time” survey every two years during the month of January.  HUD, MDHI, local

Homeless in Metropolitan Denver                                                                                           Point‐In‐Time Study, 2011  

Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative 2

governments and service providers use the information collected by the point‐in‐time survey to 

assess, project and plan strategies and services to eliminate homelessness.   

 

MDHI defines homelessness as: 

 

Sleeping in places not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, or 

abandoned or condemned buildings;  

Sleeping in an emergency shelter;  

Spending a short time (30 consecutive days or less) in a hospital or other institution, but 

ordinarily sleeping in the types of places mentioned above;

II.  UNDERSTANDING THE DATA 

 

Undercounting 

There is no disagreement that it is difficult to count homeless people.  The one consistent 

finding in all the research on homelessness is that surveys undercount homeless populations.  It 

is easy to “miss” homeless individuals and families ‐‐ they might not receive services at the 

agencies where homeless persons are counted on the night of the PIT, or if they do frequent a 

particular agency, they might not be there during the count.  People enter and leave 

homelessness frequently and may become homeless shortly after the point‐in‐time study.  The 

comprehensiveness of a sheltered homeless count is entirely dependent upon the level of 

participation of agencies and organizations that serve homeless individuals and families.   

 

Unsheltered homeless people are particularly difficult to count.  By definition, they are not in 

places where they can easily be counted, such as transitional housing and homeless shelters.1  

Many homeless people are not counted because they are not in places where they can be 

found, much less where they have the opportunity to complete a survey, such as those living in 

automobiles and other kinds of crude and temporary housing.  Some groups may be 

underrepresented among service users, including youth, recently homeless persons, and 

persons who are doubled up with friends and family.2  Others are homeless due to domestic 

violence and, because of confidentiality concerns, do not complete surveys.  Still other 

homeless people are likely afraid of being counted, such as undocumented persons.   

 

Submitted Surveys 

Table 1 describes the number of point‐in‐time surveys collected by agency staff and volunteers 

and the number of surveys removed from the final database.

Variables 

Some variables are reported only for respondents and others for both respondents and all 

homeless.  For all homeless people, the data represent respondents and the family members 

who are with them.  Table 2 describes which variables from the survey are reported for 

respondents, for all homeless and for both.

MDHI’s 2011 point‐in‐time homeless count recruited as many service providers, volunteers and 

outreach workers as possible, and they assisted homeless (or assumed homeless) individuals to 

complete a two‐sided survey in order to facilitate survey distribution and administration.  They 

used an extensive system of trained agency staff and volunteers to collect the survey data in 

order to keep the cost of the point‐in‐time count affordable.   

 

 

 

 

  3 Respondents were asked, “Do you or any adult in your household (eighteen or older) have any of the following disabling conditions”?  In prior years, respondents were asked to report their own disabling conditions only.

III.  FINDINGS 

 

Some survey respondents did not answer every question.  Therefore, the percentages reported 

in each sub‐section of the report and in individual tables and graphs represent only those 

people who answered the particular question, not the total number of respondents.  In other 

words, unless otherwise noted, the percentages do not include “missing” responses.  

Additionally, when adding up numbers in various categories, the number will not always equal 

the number of “respondents” or “all homeless” due to survey questions that were not 

answered. 

 

The findings are reported for respondents and all homeless.  Respondents are those individuals 

who completed the survey.  The “all homeless” category is the sum of respondents and the 

homeless family members with them.  The findings are reported in one or both of these two 

categories, depending on which category is most useful and informative and on whether the 

variable logically can be imputed to all homeless.  For example, military status can be reported 

for respondents only, while it makes sense to report where people spent Monday night for all 

homeless. 

 

Total Estimated Homeless Persons 

Some respondents who identified themselves as having children, either as part of a couple or as 

a single parent, did not document these family members when completing their survey.  Other 

respondents reported they were part of a couple without children but did not document their 

spouse or partner.  The number of persons who were not included by respondents is estimated 

at 1,226.4  This estimate was added to the total homeless estimate, but was not included in the 

analyses of all homeless. 

   

The total homeless count, including the estimate of unreported family members, is shown in 

Table 3 below.

4 For each family type, the researchers calculated the average number of family members for respondents who reported data for themselves and family members.  The researchers applied the average number of family members – minus the respondent ‐‐ for each given family type to respondents who did not document family members.  The estimates were then summed across family types.

DEMOGRAPHICS 

 

1.    Family Type 

The family type identified by the person who completed the survey reflects how they portray 

themselves.  People who identified themselves as single or as part of a couple without children 

are grouped as “Households without Children.”  People who identified themselves as a single 

parent with children or as part of a couple with children are categorized as “Households with 

Children.”5  Family type is reported for respondents and for all homeless, while households with 

and without children is reported only for all homeless. 

 

Table 4 describes respondents by family type and Table 5 shows the percentage of all homeless 

people by family type.6

HOUSING AND RISK FACTORS FOR HOMELESSNESS 

 

5. Reasons for Homelessness 

Respondents were given a list of possible reasons for their homelessness and asked to indicate 

“all that apply.”  Overall, loss of a job was the most common reason given, followed by housing 

costs, relationship or family breakup, substance abuse and eviction or foreclosure. 

 

Table 7.  Reasons for Homelessness 

  Frequency Percent

Lost job/can’t find work  2,060 37.4

Housing costs too high  985 17.9

Relationship or family break‐up/death in the family  936 17.0

Substance abuse  625 11.3

Eviction/foreclosure  608 11.0

Mental illness, emotional problems  602 10.9

Medical problems including physical, dev disability  513 9.3

Abuse or violence in home  482 8.7

Discharged from jail, prison, halfway house  435 7.9

Utility costs too high  397 7.2

Runaway/discharged from foster care  132 2.4

Sexual orientation  40 0.7

Other reason  377 6.8

 Survey respondents wrote in “other” reasons for their current episode of homelessness.  The 

most common “other” reason for homelessness was that the respondent recently moved to the 

Metro area.  Other common reasons were various problems with government benefits: 

respondents had lost their benefits, were waiting for benefits, could not get benefits or 

reported that their benefit allocation was not enough money to live on.  Additional reasons for 

homelessness were landlord problems, bad credit, dangerous or unhealthy living conditions 

(overcrowding, bed bugs, building unsafe or not up to code), immigration issues including 

deportation, child support or alimony problems, legal issues, pregnancy, or respondents simply 

reported having “no money.” 

 

There are differences between households with and without children in their reasons for 

homelessness, some more striking than others.  Table 8 compares the five most frequently 

reported reasons overall by households with and without children.

6.    Disabling Conditions 

HUD requires that the point‐in‐time survey include questions asking respondents to identify if, 

at the time of the survey, they had any of the following disabling conditions – serious mental 

illness, a serious medical condition, chronic substance abuse issues, a developmental disability, 

or HIV/AIDS.    Nearly half (44.5%) respondents reported that they or some adult in their 

household had at least one disabling condition including some “other” disabling condition.  

While almost one‐third (30.2%) reported only one disabling condition, nearly one‐in‐eight 

(12.3%) reported that adults in their household had two or more disabling conditions.   

 

The largest group of respondents indicated that they experienced serious medical or physical 

conditions or a serious mental illness, followed closely by substance abuse.

7. Military Service, Foster Care, Work 

 

Respondents were asked, “Have you served in the U.S. Armed Forces or were you activated, 

into active duty, as a member of the National Guard or as a reservist?”  They also were asked if 

they had ever been in foster care, and if so, if they had aged out of foster care in the past six 

months.  Additionally, they were asked if in the past month they or anyone else in their 

household had received any money from working.   

 

Military Service

Slightly more than one in ten respondents (11.7%) served in the military.  Of those veterans, 

11.3 percent were unsheltered on Monday night.   

 

Foster Care 

Similarly, slightly more than one in ten respondents (11.7%) said they had ever been in foster 

care, and of those, 15.1 percent reported they had aged out of foster care at some time in the 

last six months.    

 

Work 

Nearly one‐third (30.8%) of respondents reported they or anyone else in their household had 

worked in the past month.  Substantially more respondents in households with children (41.9%) 

reported having received money from working in the past month than respondents in 

households without children (23.8%). 

 

 

8. Government Benefits 

Respondents were asked to indicate all of the government benefits that anyone in their 

household received.  The majority (58.4%) reported that their household received some type of 

government benefit.  Of those receiving benefits, over half (54.3%) were receiving one benefit 

and nearly half (45.6%) were receiving two or more government benefits.  More households 

with children were receiving government benefits (67.0%) than households without children 

(52.7%).

NATURE OF HOMELESSNESS 

 

9. Duration and Episodes of Homelessness 

Duration of homelessness refers to how long a particular episode of homelessness has lasted.  

Number of episodes refers to the number of separate times a household has experienced 

homelessness, regardless of how long each of the episodes lasted. 

 

Duration     

Over half (52.9%) of 

respondents say their 

household has been 

homeless for less than 

one year, while one in 

ten (10.4%) have been 

homeless for more 

than three years. 

 

Episodes 

The single largest group 

of respondents (39.9%) 

said their household 

was experiencing its 

first episode of 

homelessness in the 

last three years on the 

night of January 24.  

More than one in five 

(21.5%) had been 

homeless twice in the last three years, and nearly one‐in‐eight had been homeless five or more 

times. 

 

Tables 11 and 12 show the differences between households with and without children 

regarding episodes and duration of homelessness.  Households without children are twice as 

likely to have been homeless five or more times, and to have been homeless for more than 

three years.

10.  Chronically Homeless Individuals 

 

HUD Definitions and Criteria 

Historically, HUD has defined chronic homelessness as: 

 

Single persons living alone, and 

Having a chronic debilitating condition, and 

Sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation and/or in an emergency homeless 

shelter, and 

Having been homeless continually for one year or more OR having four or more 

episodes of homelessness in three or more years. 

 

HUD defines a disabling condition as “a diagnosable substance abuse disorder, serious mental 

illness, developmental disability or chronic physical illness or disability.”  A disabling condition 

limits an individual’s ability to work or perform activities of daily living.  

 

New this year, HUD includes families in its definition of chronically homeless, albeit without 

clear criteria for counting these individuals and families.  HUD issued the following guidelines 

regarding “Chronically Homeless Person or Family”: 

 

An unaccompanied homeless individual (18 or older) with a disabling condition or 

a family with at least one adult member (18 or older) who has a disabling 

condition who has either been continuously homeless for a year or more OR has 

had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years.  This means 

that CoCs need to collect four pieces of data to meet HUD requirements: 

 

1.  Number of sheltered chronically homeless individuals living in emergency 

shelter or safe havens. 

2. Number of unsheltered chronically homeless individuals living in a place not 

meant for human habitation (e.g. living on the street). 

3. Number of sheltered chronically homeless families living in emergency shelter 

or safe havens. 

4. Number of unsheltered chronically homeless families living in a place not 

meant for human habitation (e.g. living on the street). 

 

The above criteria indicate that Continuums of Care (CoCs) must determine the number of 

chronically homeless single individuals and the number of chronically homeless family units.  

However, in a subsequent publication, HUD directed that:  

Page 28: 2011 Homeless Point‐In‐Time Study

Homeless in Metropolitan Denver                                                                                           Point‐In‐Time Study, 2011  

Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative 14

CoCs should collect and report the total number of persons in chronically 

homeless families to include both the adult members who are chronically 

homeless and family members who are with them, either sheltered or 

unsheltered.   

 

Conversely, this second set of criteria indicates that HUD requires CoCs to report the number of 

respondents and their family members who are chronically homeless, or as designated in this 

report, All Homeless.   

 

HUD was contacted to clarify the necessary data that CoCs should collect and report for their 

chronically homeless populations, but further clarification was unavailable.  This report 

therefore includes the following descriptions of the chronically homeless:  

 

Number of chronically homeless single individuals 

Number of chronically homeless family units 

Number of chronically homeless ‐‐ All Homeless persons8 

 

Finally, based on HUD criteria, unaccompanied homeless children under the age of 18 are not 

counted as chronically homeless individuals.  In this study, six respondents were younger than 

18 and identified as chronically homeless, but were not included in the chronically homeless 

calculations.  Table 13 shows chronically homeless respondents (whether single individuals or 

part of a family) by age categories, although the six teens were not included in subsequent 

reporting of chronically homeless.

Chronically Homeless Respondents 

There are a total of 466 chronically homeless respondents who meet HUD’s definition.  Slightly 

more than three‐quarters (76.4%) are male.   

 

Chronically Homeless Single Individuals and Families 

Over three quarters (77.9%) or 363 of chronically homeless respondents are single individuals.  

Families ‐‐ respondents who are not single individuals ‐‐ comprise more than one‐fifth (22.1%) 

of the chronically homeless population.

Consistent with respondents, of all chronically homeless persons (respondents and their family 

members), the largest group is single individuals and the small number of family members with 

them (66.8 percent).  Persons in families comprise one‐third (33.2%) of all chronically homeless 

persons.

9 There are 363 chronically homeless persons whose family type is identified as ‘single’; however, considering all homeless persons, there are 393 chronically homeless persons in this category.  This is due to some single respondents having various family members with them, such as a sibling or an adult respondent with a parent.

homeless most frequently spent Monday night. 

 

 

12.  Unsheltered 

Of all homeless people, 5.1 percent or 411 people were unsheltered (living on the street, under 

a bridge, in an abandoned or public building, in a car, camping out, etc.) on the night of January 

24.10  Of those who were unsheltered, over three‐quarters (77.2%) were living in households 

without children, and 22.8 percent had children with them. 

 

 

13.  Newly Homeless                                                   

For the purpose of this study, people were considered “newly homeless” if they had been 

homeless for less than one year and this was their first episode of homelessness.  On January 

24, 2011, nearly one in four (23.7%) or 2,402 people, were considered newly homeless.  Of the 

newly homeless, fully two‐thirds (66.6%) were in households with children. 

 

 

 

 

 

10 This percentage is slightly lower than the 5.2 percent of all homeless who were unsheltered in Table 17 above.  The difference is because Table 17 is based only on people who reported where they spent Monday night.  The 5.1 percent is based on all homeless, including those who did not indicate where they spent Monday night.

14.  Counties / Cities 

The largest proportion (42.1%) of all homeless persons spent Monday night in the City and 

County of Denver.  More, however, spent Monday night in other Metro area counties (57.9%).

Households with children and without children differ in the county where they spent the night 

of the survey.  The majority of households without children (55.6%) indicated that they spent

15.  Last Permanent Residence 

 

Respondents were asked to indicate the county where they last lived before they became 

homeless.  The largest single percentage (37.9%) of respondents indicated their last permanent 

residence was in Denver City and County, although a combined 44.7 percent were from one of 

the Metro counties other than Denver.  One in eight (12.8%) homeless respondents were from 

out of state, and 4.6 percent were from a Colorado county other than one of the seven Metro 

counties in this study.   

 

Table 21 compares the county where respondents spent the night of Monday, January 24 and 

the county where respondents had their last permanent residence.  For example, out of 913 

respondents who spent Monday night in Boulder and answered the question about their last 

permanent residence, 682 said that Boulder was their last permanent residence, 118 were from 

out of state, and 41 were from a Colorado county other than one of the Metro counties in this 

study.  The number of respondents in the table reflects the number of respondents who 

provided information about both where they spent Monday night and the county where they 

last had a permanent residence.

Summary 

Homelessness continues to be a critical issue in Metro Denver.  More than 11,000 people, many 

of them children, lack a permanent home on any given night.   

 

The Point‐In‐Time study shows that persons living in households with children continue to 

account for the majority of homeless persons in Metro Denver.  The number of homeless 

women is approaching that of homeless men, primarily because of the large number of single 

parents and couples with children.  More than one‐quarter of single homeless persons, 

however, are now female.  Minorities are over‐represented among the homeless population 

compared to general population estimates. 

 

The great majority of all homeless people spent Monday night staying temporarily with family 

members or friends, in time‐limited transitional housing or in an emergency shelter (not 

including a domestic violence shelter).  Persons in households with children were substantially 

more likely to stay with family or friends or in transitional housing, while persons in households 

without children were more likely to have spent Monday night in an emergency shelter.  One in 

twenty homeless people were unsheltered.  There are fewer newly homeless than in the past 

couple of years.  It may be that people are experiencing homelessness for longer periods of 

time due to the economy.  Nevertheless, almost one‐quarter of all homeless are newly 

homeless, and fully two‐thirds of newly homeless persons are in households with children.    

 

The change in HUD’s definition of chronically homeless is a step forward in accurately defining 

and reporting on persons experiencing chronic homelessness.  Service providers have long been 

aware that families as well as single individuals face the catastrophic problems associated with 

being chronically homeless.  Of all chronically homeless persons, one in five are in households 

with children.   

 

The three most frequently reported reasons for respondents’ current spell of homelessness are 

unemployment, followed by housing costs and relationship or family break‐up.  A recent 

Denver Post article reported that Colorado mirrors the nation in the record growth of low‐

income families who pay more than half of their monthly income for rent.  The vacancy rate in 

affordable housing rentals is dropping, incomes are dropping, and rents are increasing.12  

 

Given the uncertainty surrounding the economic recovery and the fact that homelessness 

affects so many families and children, it is more critical than ever that we work together to 

provide services and programs to reduce homelessness in Metropolitan Denver.

V.  METHODOLOGY 

 

MDHI collected data in the last week in January, referencing the point‐in‐time as the night of 

Monday, January 24, 2011.   

 

Survey Instrument 

The survey instrument was developed by the Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI).  

The survey was revised based on input from MDHI Board members and on changes in HUD 

definitions.  For example, MDHI revised how respondents were asked about their military 

service to reflect HUD’s guidelines. 

 

 Data Entry/Cleaning 

A professional data entry firm entered the survey data.  The researchers performed numerous 

procedures to identify data entry and logic errors.  For example, the researchers ran 

frequencies on all variables to check for out of range / incorrect values; coded and cleaned all 

open‐ended responses; did countless logic checks  comparing “Family Type” and family 

member data; and performed many additional logic checks on all data points. 

 

The researchers paid particular attention to identifying family type and households with and 

without children.  Although evidence of children in a household often was not thoroughly or 

consistently documented, if there was solid evidence that the respondent had any children 

under 18 years of age, the household was identified as a household with children.  Respondents 

age 17 or under were automatically classified as a household with children.   

 

The number of homeless persons in a household could be counted if the respondent: 1) 

entered the number of people in the household, and 2) identified the family members who 

were with them on Monday night.  In many cases, responses to these questions were 

inconsistent; handling these cases  required extensive data examination and cleaning.  The 

researchers also did additional data cleaning, for example, removing friends reported by 

respondents.  The study’s methodology assumes that “friends” complete their own surveys, 

while the respondent reports on family members. 

 

Criteria for Eliminating Not Homeless 

The researchers established clearly defined, objective criteria to identify homelessness.  

Determining whether a respondent was homeless initially depended on where he or she spent 

the PIT night.  As needed, other questions were included in the decision process.  Many surveys 

had inconsistent responses.  In these situations, the researchers examined responses indicating 

housing status and developed additional criteria to sort respondents consistently.

Duplicates 

The PIT survey was conducted over a 24‐hour period in order to reduce the number of 

duplicate surveys.  However, duplicates are inevitable.  Several steps were taken to address this 

issue: 

 

Although agency staff, volunteers and homeless respondents were instructed to 

complete a survey for every homeless individual or family, only one survey was counted 

for each household. 

Agency staff and volunteers were trained regarding the critical nature of obtaining the 

identifying information at the top of the survey form.  

  

A unique identification number was created for each respondent.  This identification number 

consisted of first initial, middle initial, first three letters of last name and month respondent 

was born, as well as age and gender.  The researchers examined the survey instruments for 

respondents with identical identification numbers and omitted duplicates. 

 

New in 2011 

If the survey was missing data to indicate homelessness, and the agency submitting the 

survey only serves homeless persons, the respondent was identified as homeless.   

If the respondent spent Monday night in permanent supportive housing and reported 

that he or she was going to be evicted in seven days, the respondents was identified as 

homeless – in other words, permanent supportive housing was treated similarly to living 

in Section 8 housing or in the respondent’s own apartment or house. 

If the respondent reported having children in the table identifying household members 

but did not state their children’s ages, and the respondent was age 32 or younger, the 

respondent was counted as having a child under 18.
