The Kansas statewide Point-In-Time homeless count was conducted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Planning and Development Services Department staff partnered with the Douglas County United Way, Bert Nash Homeless Outreach Workers and other community partners to conduct the count for Lawrence and Douglas County.
This count was the first statewide coordinated count and was a joint effort between the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) and the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services – Disability and Behavioral Health Services (SRS-DBHS) and was coordinated by the United Way of the Plains in Wichita. Results have been tabulated and released. Attached is the count for the City of Lawrence and Douglas County as well as an analysis of the count, prepared and reviewed by staff and the Community Commission on Homelessness.
