Abstract
On any given night, it is estimated that nearly 1,300 adults and youth are without their own place in Washington and Benton Counties. Results from the 2009 Northwest Arkansas Homeless Census (n=269) revealed that 63 percent were male, 83 percent were White/Caucasian, and 58 percent unmarried. The median age was 41 years. While this demographic profile mirrors much of what was reported in the 2007 Northwest Arkansas Homeless Census, there are some important shifts worth noting.
