FY 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan City of South Bend, IN <br /> The Sheltered Homeless refers to those persons who live in an emergency shelter, live in transitional <br /> housing, or are exiting an institution where they temporarily resided and now lack a fixed nighttime <br /> residence.People will be considered homeless if they are exiting an institution where they resided for up to <br /> 90 days (it was previously 30 days). People who are losing their primary night time residence, which may <br /> be a motel,hotel or a doubled-up situation within 14 days and lack resources or support networks to remain <br /> housing are considered sheltered homeless as well. The sheltered homeless typically do not have a steady <br /> source of income, or any source of income. <br /> The Point-In-Time Count for St. Joseph County in 2024 counted a total of 547 homeless persons and 443 <br /> homeless households. Of these, only 44 persons, or 8.0%, were unsheltered. There were 134 persons in <br /> transitional housing, and 369 persons that were housed in an emergency shelter.There were no chronically <br /> homeless families with children, but 87 chronically homeless individuals. Of the 547 homeless people <br /> counted, 87(15.9%)were considered chronically homeless.There were 24 total unaccompanied youths that <br /> were homeless in 2024. There were 33 homeless Veterans, and three (3) of the homeless Veterans was <br /> considered chronically homeless.This indicates a need for greater outreach and shelter/housing options for <br /> these special needs groups. <br /> Discussion: <br /> Not Applicable. <br /> 0MB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2025) 87 <br />
