Number of Homeless PersonsTJHD, 2004-2011

Source: Thomas Jefferson Area Coalition for the Homeless (TJACH)Thomas Jefferson Area Coalition for the Homeless (TJACH) is a broad-based coalition of individuals and organizations working to end homelessness in TJHD. TJACH annually conducts the Street Census (a survey that provides data on the number of homeless in the region and their characteristics. Surveys are distributed to shelter providers and social service agencies in TJHD, and taken by survey teams to homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and various street and outdoors locations. As the number of people who were physically located, this represents the least possible number. Schools, who use different reporting criteria, reported significantly higher numbers reflecting homeless children living in shelters, doubled up, in motels, or in substandard housing. This is self-reported homelessness those that were sheltered reported themselves as in a shelter or staying with friends and/or family.

Sheltered Homeless: those residing in emergency, transitional or permanent supportive facilitiesUnsheltered Homeless: those residing outside (such as on a park bench), in vehicles or abandoned buildings

24Unemployment RateLouisa County, TJHD, Virginia, and U.S., 2000-2011Source: Virginia Workforce Connection Persons (age 16 and over that are neither in an institution (for example, correctional facilities and residential nursing and mental health care facilities) nor on active duty in the Armed Forces) are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work. Actively looking for work may consist of any of the following activities:Contacting: An employer directly or having a job interview, A public or private employment agency, Friends or relatives, A school or university employment centerSending out resumes or filling out applicationsPlacing or answering advertisementsChecking union or professional registersSome other means of active job search

Passive methods of job search do not have the potential to result in a job offer and therefore do not qualify as active job search methods. Examples of passive methods include attending a job training program or course, or merely reading about job openings that are posted in newspapers or on the Internet. Workers expecting to be recalled from temporary layoff are counted as unemployed, whether or not they have engaged in a specific job seeking activity. In all other cases, the individual must have been engaged in at least one active job search activity in the 4 weeks preceding the interview and be available for work (except for temporary illness).25
