Show Notes
More people in San Diego County fell into homelessness than escaped it last month, according to new data from the Regional Task Force on Homelessness.
January’s numbers show that 1,025 people were placed into housing, but 1,216 people fell into homelessness for the first time.
Also in January, volunteers gathered data for the 2025 Point in Time Count — an annual measurement of unhoused folks in our region. The results of that count will be released in May and determine how funding for homelessness is distributed.
To discuss the state of homelessness in 2025, Midday Edition brought together a panel of leaders supporting unhoused folks in San Diego.
Guests:
- Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Services
- Hanan Scrapper, regional director for People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) - San Diego
- Joshua Bohannan, chief strategy officer for Father Joe's Villages
