Abstract
The 2009 point-in-time (PIT) homeless census in Northwest Arkansas was recently completed and the news, as expected, is not good. In the midst of a changing real estate market with record foreclosures an economy on the downturn, rising unemployment rates, and slowing growth in home construction and development, the number of homeless in Northwest Arkansas increased by 10 percent since 2007, from an estimated 1,170 persons to 1,287.
