he Inventory is a comprehensive catalogue of programs that serve people ages 12 and over who: a) are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness and/or b) require access to longer term housing stability programs. Out-of-scope programs are those that do not identify providing resources to find and/or maintain housing as a primary mandate (e.g., programs oriented more toward education or employment). The Inventory is organized into five sections, one for each type of program that exists in the local housing stability system, including: emergency shelter services, street outreach, shorter term housing stability programs, transitional or time-limited housing, and longer term housing stability programs. Overview tables are presented at the beginning of each section, followed by detailed information on each of the programs (including background to the program, description of services, and an overview of key trends and statistics) plus an appendix with contact information. The report also features an introductory chapter that reviews key housing stability concepts and provides a summary of overall trends for 2008.
