We did regional counts of absolute homelessness in this region in 2002 and 2005. Between those years, the count doubled. It went from 1,000 to over 2,200 persons as of March 2005.
We're seeing an increase in persons at risk of homelessness. Currently about 55,000 households in this region are considered at risk of homelessness, because they are paying more than 50% of their low incomes to housing.
