We have posted the 2013 statistics from the shelters.
These statistics show 8,300 people used the shelters in 2013 (Oct. 2012
to September 2013). There were 6,000 single adults and 646 families
who used the shelters in Cuyahoga County. The average stay in an
emergency shelter for a single adult is 18 days and for a family nearly
60 days. 69% of the shelter population leave the emergency shelter
with some income (including non-cash income). While only 15% of the
single adults leaving the shelter have earned income. Single
individuals leave the shelter with 67% of the population go to a
permanent destination. It is interesting that about 45% of the sheltered
homeless have not experienced homelessness in the past.
