Family homelessness showed a decline of 4 percent in shelters and similar facilities from last year.  The count found only 80 veterans in emergency shelters, most of whom are engaged in VA services.

The Point in Time count found Danbury 12 homeless veterans, 5 percent of those counted in the state.  One was reported as chronically homeless and one was unsheltered.  There were 22 unsheltered adults in Danbury on the night of the count.
