Emergency Shelter's
Impact on Crime in Neighborhoods
Some neighborhoods and
communities fear the presence of homeless shelters due to a
misperception about the incidence of violence and criminal activity.
This paper provides supporting evidence to debunk that myth.

Opportunities to Improve the Educational
Outcomes for Homeless Children (Report to the Columbus Public Schools)
In November 1998, Columbus Public School (CPS) Board members,
Mary Jo Kilroy and Karen Schwarzwalder, requested a meeting with Barbara
Poppe, Executive Director of the Community Shelter Board, to explore
whether CPS was
effectively meeting the needs of homeless children. This report was
prepared in response to their request for more information about the
needs of homeless children, other urban school models, and suggestions
for improvement.
Comprehensive Community Needs
Assessment
The Comprehensive Community Needs
Assessment was undertaken by the Community Shelter Board in order to learn
more about the needs of homeless persons in Franklin County; to assess the
existing "continuum
of care;" and to identify strategies for action. The recommendations in
the Needs Assessment require a coordinated response among key community
systems - those that fund and provide housing, transportation, training and
employment services, mental health and substatnce abuse services, and
services for children and families. The recommendations are based on a
fundamental principle: safe, adequate and affordable housing is a basic
human need, and enabling all residents to meet this need is essential to
sustaining a healthy community.
