Abstract
The 2013 point-in-time (PIT) homeless census in Northwest Arkansas is completed and the news, as expected, is not good. As the country slowly recovers from the the most significant economic downturn since the Great Depression, the number of homeless in Northwest Arkansas increased from an estimated 2,001 in 2011 to 2,429 (18% increase) in 2013. The rise is alarming, but not surprising as service providers throughout the region continue to report record numbers of persons being served.
