Miller and Shylin, a homeless mother and child, have resided since January at The Salvation Army Johnson County Lodge, a 10 room shelter in Olathe. With eighty families on the waiting list, Miller faces August childbirth while job loss and childcare issues loom. The pair endured five months couch surfing after their father split, describing life as grim and fearing state custody.
The article compares the Point-in-Time count conducted every January with a shelter-based annual tally, noting each method misses doubled up and unsettled families. Advocates in Johnson County describe rising homelessness due to job loss and weak family support while schools track homeless students for services. Miller toils six months seeking work amid tightening local aid and strained services as homelessness rises.
The six Johnson County districts reported rising homeless student numbers 2007-08 to 2010-11 and a HUD count of 315 in 2009. Local agencies struggle with funding and coordination as counts rise and a 2013 tally looms. One resident, Miller, trains as a certified nursing assistant and seeks stability for her family.
