Boston is anticipating a rise in homelessness, with results from the upcoming census expected to show a similar trend to last year's 10% increase. Over 250 volunteers participated in surveying the homeless population across the city, led by Chief of Housing Sheila Dillon. The census is critical for assessing the needs of homeless individuals and recalibrating city strategies. Despite progress in previous years, recent data shows a concerning increase in homelessness both locally and nationally, reflecting broader societal issues and the need for urgent attention and services.
The annual homelessness census is more than a count; it's a crucial step in understanding the challenges faced by our most vulnerable residents.
Boston's annual homelessness census is an opportunity to evaluate the needs of unsheltered Bostonians and connect individuals to services.
