Average quarterly employment rates for all people who experienced homelessness were similar before and after enrollment in homeless services, but those who had recently worked (37% of all people) saw declines leading up to homeless service entry
Line graph showing quarterly employment rates from eight quarters before enrollment (Q-8) to eight quarters after (Q8). For the full sample, employment rates remained relatively stable around 20% across all periods. For recent workers (37% of the sample), employment declined steadily from approximately 60% at Q-8 to around 40% at the time of homeless service entry (Q0) and did not return to pre-enrollment levels by Q8 but instead ended up around 36%.
