Box Vancouver, WA -- profbrown@comcast.net A research team, including more than community members who completed hours of intensive and comprehensive training, collected data from people without a permanent place to live in designated areas throughout Marion and Polk counties. Designated areas included parks, camps, shelters, community service sites, under bridges, streets, and other areas where people without a permanent place to live are most likely to be found. Research team members interviewed individuals who did not have a permanent place to live. The interviews were conducted using an interview schedule designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, and anonymity was afforded to all individuals who voluntarily participated in the interview process. Another designated area was the Marion y Jail where more than prisoners voluntarily participated in a survey that focused on issues related to homelessness. The jail survey component of this study resulted in a participation response rate exceeding %. We were not granted access to administer the survey at the Polk y Jail.

This report should generate questions and ideas that will advance a comprehensive knowledge base of people without permanent residences in Marion and Polk counties. Pacific Policy and Research Institute and Homelessness Research: Pacific Policy and Research Institute (PacPRI) was created to provide comprehensive research, program evaluation, program development, and training for agencies and organizations in many inter-related areas. The mission of PacPRI rests on a platform of Community collaboration and strategy development. Addressing the problems and needs of people without a permanent place to live is an inter-related area that PacPRI considers socially significant with implications to a variety of issues for all members of all communities. The purpose of this study was to create a starting point for addressing homelessness in Marion and Polk counties. The goal of the study was to identify as many people as possible during a one-day count and obtain data that provide a broader insight into the lives of people without a permanent place to live in Marion and Polk counties. These data provide a foundation for community action to address and impact the problem of homelessness at the local level. Participatory Action Research: Participatory Action Research (PAR), the hallmark of Pacific Policy and Research Institute, is a "dynamic process that develops from the unique needs, challenges, and learning experiences specific to a given group." PAR is a process whereby people (researchers and participants) develop goals and methods, participate jointly in the gathering and analysis of data, and explore strategies of implementation in ways that elevate consciousness and promote constructive social change. Participatory Action Research makes use of standard research techniques and provides a methodology for involving a community in the development and assessment of programs set to promote community change. Programs utilizing data generated from PAR share three broad goals: To investigate an aspect of reality to transform it To develop critical consciousness among all parties concerned To improve the lives of all who are involved in the research process

P.O. Box Vancouver, WA (--) pacpri.com PAR focuses on factors germane to each of these problems, and integrates individuals who are members of populations affected by these problems into the data gathering and analysis process. Second, members and non-members of problem populations become part of the research process as active participants. Integration of member and non-member participants fosters critical consciousness among all parties. Additionally, PAR improves the potential to make positive social change in the lives of all participants. Finally, PAR is consistent with the mission of PacPRI in promoting social justice and individual dignity through socially responsible scientific, comprehensive, and transparent research. Starting Point: This research marks the starting point for launching the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness in Marion and Polk counties. Data collected from this study provide crucial information about the breadth and depth of the problem of homelessness confronting communities in Marion and Polk counties. The purpose of this report is to establish a starting point for the Ten Year Plan, and to develop viable tools for program implementation, and accommodate variable measurement and program evaluation.
