Low-income individuals and families with children are often subjected to housing insecurity, limited financial
resources, challenges to their mental health, low academic performance, low paying employment opportunities,
family dynamics that are chaotic, and long-term support initiatives designed to contribute to their overall
mental, physical and financial well-being.
For those receiving rapid re-housing assistance, efforts made by the City to prevent low-income individuals and
families with children from becoming homeless include the Department of Human Services which provides job
training, career counseling, rental assistance, utility assistance, and day care to allow low-income persons to
pursue completion of their education and acquisition of employment. The United Way provides career
counseling and credit counseling to reduce unemployment and prevent homelessness.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the
operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:
