Pueblo's Homeless Population

Every One Counts!

Over 1 million children are homeless every night in the United States of America.
Pueblo's poverty rate for children is an alarming 26.5% (CCC's KidsCount 2010).
In Colorado more than 15,834 children experienced homelessness during the school year. (CCC's KidsCount 2010)
In Pueblo more than 1,848 children experienced homelessness during the school year. (School District 60 Title X Count)
Families with children make up 63% of Pueblo's homeless population.
Systemic Poverty is the number one reason for homelessness in Pueblo. Pueblo's overall poverty rate is the second highest in the state.
Every day, people in Pueblo are living in places like this:

Homeless numbers are higher this year due to:

the economy
increased population of campers migrating from Colorado Springs
our more comprehensive count of homeless on the streets
our cooperation with local school districts to better identify homeless youth

We have more families, people with disabilities and veterans in permanent housing thanks to assistance from the VA, VASH vouchers and the City and County of Pueblo through their Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program.

"I am deeply grateful and appreciative of the program because I was facing homelessness... thank you for all your services."
