Who are the typical guests of the PHCR event?

PHCR guests roughly reflect nationwide homelessness figures. Women and men are equally represented. Age varies widely. PHCR guests include teenagers and the elderly; middle-aged adults are most heavily represented. Approximately one in ten PHCR guests is a veteran. Guests, varying in ethnic/racial background with African Americans slightly over-represented, report their primary reasons for attending PCHR are concrete: to obtain identification and other resources such as winter clothing and food along with linkages to other needed services such as housing and employment resources. As guests leave PCHR, they report high levels of satisfaction with PCHR volunteers and the spirit of the PHCR event as a whole.
