Westchester's FY07 Continuum of Care application

• Exhibit 1 from Westchester's Consolidated Continuum of Care Application
  

Exhibit 1 from Westchester County's FY07 consolidated application to HUD's Continuum of Care for the Homeless program outlines Westchester's resources and strategies in a cumbersome and not very reader-friendly format mandated by HUD. Nonetheless, this document is the most comprehensive available description of Westchester's housing and services for the homeless.

• Westchester Homeless Housing Inventory, corrected 2/29/08

This corrected Housing Inventory (revised 2/29/08) includes an estimate of the unmet need for permanent housing for the homeless in Westchester. This is calculated by taking the number of transitional homeless beds minus permanent housing beds currently under development to derive the number of units needed just to house the homeless people already in transitional housing in Westchester.
