202 - the number of homeless people identified by a point in time count in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford and Fulton counties at the end of January, 2022.
Lack of affordable housing is one of the primary causes of homelessness.
Permanent Supportive Housing, like that offered by Phoenix Community Development Services (Phoenix CDS), is the most efficient and cost effective way to end homelessness!
Phoenix CDS is ending veteran homelessness by housing more homeless vets than any other organization in our community.
Phoenix CDS operates the only homeless outreach program in the area that helps individuals and families meet daily living needs, access care and services, and secure housing to end their homelessness!
Phoenix CDS housed 485 people last year.
97% of those housed, maintained their housing and DID NOT return to homelessness!
