Last completed in 2002. • The audience for the Index is mainly professional, used most often for grant writing, and, to a lesser extent, as an aid to policy development. • The index is a gauge to look at social determinants of health in the local area. • The index covers Pasadena (and Altadena as much as possible). 10

  19. Homelessness • The City of Pasadena, like many large cities, has a substantial number of households that are at risk for homelessness. • According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2000, there were approximately 30,000 residents (nearly one of every four residents) who were members of a household whose income was $15,000 a year or less. Of these households, approximately half (15,000 residents) were members of a household whose income was less than $10,000. • These data indicate that there is a continued need to ensure programs like the Shelter Plus Care Program, the HOME Investment Project, and Pasadena’s Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program remain. 19
