Shelters were contacted prior to this date and instructed to make sure that all client and intake <br />data in the HMIS was correctly entered and up -to -date. Follow -up was also conducted to ensure that the numbers <br />were accurate for the day of the count. <br />Shelters not participating in the HMIS (including domestic violence shelters) were contacted individually to provide <br />all subpopulation data and the total number of homeless individuals and families residing at their shelters on the <br />night of the January 25, 2011. The results are shown in Exhibit seven. Exhibit seven also displays the results from <br />the last three years. <br />Exhibit 7: <br />County <br />Statewide Sheltered Homeless Individuals, <br />Households with Children <br />00• <br />Persons in Families <br />Individuals <br />2011 Total <br />Oahu <br />514 <br />2,058 <br />854 <br />2,912 <br />Maui <br />77 <br />267 <br />127 <br />394 <br />Kauai <br />22 <br />78 <br />19 <br />97 <br />Hawaii <br />37 <br />152 <br />77 <br />229 <br />Total <br />650 <br />2,555 <br />1,077 <br />3,632 <br />County <br />Households with Children <br />Persons in Families <br />Individuals <br />2010 Total <br />Oahu <br />527 <br />2,041 <br />756 <br />2,797 <br />Maui <br />80 <br />283 <br />109 <br />392 <br />Kauai <br />13 <br />44 <br />16 <br />60 <br />Hawaii <br />55 <br />223 <br />63 <br />286 <br />Total <br />675 <br />2,591 <br />944 <br />3,535 <br />County <br />Households with Children <br />Persons in Families <br />Individuals <br />2009 Total <br />Oahu <br />447 <br />1,673 <br />772 <br />2,445 <br />Maui <br />98 <br />306 <br />116 <br />422 <br />Kauai <br />20 <br />67 <br />13 <br />80 <br />Hawaii <br />56 <br />213 <br />108 <br />321 <br />Total <br />621 <br />2,259 <br />1,009 <br />3,268 <br />There were 3,632 sheltered homeless individuals enumerated in the 2011 PIT. Of this number 2,555 persons were <br />part of the 650 households with children identified and 1,077 were homeless individuals. Oahu had the majority of <br />the sheltered homeless individuals and accounted for roughly 80% of the State's sheltered population. As in <br />previous counts, there was a much higher percentage of sheltered persons who were part of households with <br />children when compared to the overall sheltered population. In general, there are much fewer shelter beds <br />available to single individuals and persons in households without children. <br />3 HUD's definition of a sheltered homeless person is someone residing in an emergency shelter or transitional housing for homeless persons <br />who originally came from the streets or emergency shelters. <br />12 <br />
