Dutchess County has slowest growth A New York report released last month found that the number of people without long-term housing nearly doubled between 2022 and 2024, although Dutchess County had the lowest growth rate in the state, at 11 percent. The report, compiled by the state Comptroller's Office, found that, from January 2022 to January 2024, New York's homeless population grew by 50 percent, compared to 20 percent in the rest of the country. It relied on a census conducted annually by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development that estimated about 770,000 people in the U.S. were homeless in 2024, including 140,000 in New York City and 18,000 in the rest of the state. Only Hawaii and Washington, D.C., had higher rates per capita. The homeless population in Dutchess County grew to an estimated 705 residents. Putnam County was not broken out, but Westchester County had a 19 percent increase, to 1,611. The statewide increase was 113 percent, although nearly all of that growth was in New York City, the report said, citing an influx of asylum seekers, the end of a pandemic freeze on evictions, a lack of affordable housing and rising rents. In a news release on Jan. 30, Dutchess County cited its "proactive approach to addressing homelessness" for its state-low growth, including street outreach, case management and two licensed social workers hired in December. How to Get Help Dutchess County residents who need housing or a warming center can call the Department of Community & Family Services at 845-486-3300 during business hours or call 211 or law enforcement. Putnam County residents who need emergency housing can call the Department of Social Services & Mental Health at 845-808-1500, ext. 45233, during business hours. The state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance at 800-342-3009 or dub.sh/NY-help can provide guidance for emergency benefits. Last summer, the county Department of Community & Family Services took over operations of a Poughkeepsie shelter, known as PODS, where an eight-person team works with each resident to develop "individualized independent living plans" and provide mental health support and crisis intervention. The shelter population dropped by 33 percent from 2023 to 2024, the county said. According to the federal data, the number of families without long-term housing in New York state tripled between 2022 and 2024, to 96,000, accounting for about 60 percent of the population. More than half of state residents without long-term housing are Black or Hispanic, and an estimated 10 percent suffer from severe mental illness or chronic substance abuse. To its credit, New York state has the lowest rate of unsheltered homeless in the country (3.6 percent of all homeless, versus 44 percent nationally), the lowest rate of homeless seniors (2.5 percent) and the lowest rate of chronically homeless (3.6 percent). The state has 128,000 emergency beds (compared to 76,000 in California), 95 percent of which are in shelters, according to the report. The remaining 5 percent consists of "rapid re-housing" for moving people to permanent homes, "safe havens" for people with severe mental illness and "transitional housing" with support for up to 24 months.

California's homeless population grew by 3 percent between early 2023 and early 2024. While other states saw higher rates, California still has the most homeless people in the country. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

As temperatures plummet, some people who are unsheltered and homeless have had to find a way inside to stay safe. It's a difficult time of year for the roughly 10,000 people in the state who have unstable or no shelter. Often people without stable housing live unnoticed and without the safety and care they need. That's why the Wilder Foundation in St. Paul conducts a survey of all the unhoused people they can find every three years. The research organization just published new data from their Minnesota Homeless Study with geographic, demographic and social information about our neighbors without housing. Rebecca Sales is a research scientist who worked on the project and she joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about their findings.

Is there any way that Kansas City government can help those that are being affected by homelessness in our city?

Homelessness is an issue that could hurt the Democratic Party in next month's US presidential election. The problem is especially serious in Democratic candidate Kamala Harris's home state of California, which has one third of the country's homeless: 181,000 people in that state alone. Republicans have often criticised their rivals for being too lax on the issue. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to speed up the dismantling of encampments and is threatening to cut off public funds to towns that refuse to do so. But in some cities, like Los Angeles, authorities are doing their best to find more permanent housing for the homeless. FRANCE 24's Pierrick Leurent and Valérie Defert report, with Wassim Cornet.

Older adults age 55 and up accounted for 44% of the homeless population in the Greater Richmond region, according to a recent annual count. Homelessness in the region increased 20% from 2023, while older adult homelessness rose two percentage points, based on recent data collected by the Homeward VA point-in-time count. Older adults have vulnerabilities that don't exist for other renters or homeowners, according to Benjamin Teresa, the director of RVA Eviction Lab. Limited income, medical costs, rising housing costs, evictions and more can all factor into the displacement of older adults. Like others in the region, older adults face...Article LinkSupport the show

Mike Jones has been homeless for 20 of his 59 years of life, and as he watched a team of police and street cleaners throw away his pile of soggy tarps and trash last week, he shrugged. “I have eight dogs, and I just don't like shelters,” he said. “Too much like jail, and I've had a lot of experience with jail. I'm just fine out here in my tent.” Jones' ability to remain outside this city's shelter system is about to get a lot harder. The same goes for every other homeless person in this rapidly growing town and virtually every other locality in the sprawling farmlands of the Central Valley. Spurred by June's U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing governments to sweep out homeless encampments without having to first offer shelter, Central Valley jurisdictions from tiny Turlock to the wide San Joaquin County are passing and enforcing stringent bans on any type of camping or loitering on public land. Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order in July urging local leaders to vigorously break down camps if they were big or disruptive enough to be deemed “dangerous” seemed to add his blessing to the efforts.

The mayor of Miami has an ambitious goal—to reach a “functional zero” homeless population within his bustling city. “We reached functional zero veteran homeless, and I realized … that we could, we should, take it a step further and get to a functional zero,” says Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican who leads Florida's second-biggest city.Miami is partnering with several organizations—including Hermanos de la Calle, Lotus House, and Camillus House—to meet the varied needs of the homeless and create a model that other cities could duplicate to tackle their own homelessness crises. But Suarez says addressing homelessness extends beyond meeting the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the homeless—cities must also create an economic environment that allows all citizens to thrive. If city leaders want to effectively address homelessness, Suarez argues, they also must consider a “broader macroeconomic reality” that plays a role in creating or alleviating the problem. To this end, the mayor says Miami's government has followed three rules: “We've kept taxes low; we've kept people safe; and we've leaned into innovation.” Suarez joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Miami is advancing toward a “functional zero” homeless population and to share the exciting results of a recent event toward reaching that goal.

Sacramento County's unhoused population drops 29%, bucking recent trends. Also, how this year's Sacramento Pride is aiming to be the greenest celebration yet. Finally, a new production in Yuba City called “Salt of the Earth.” Sacramento Homeless Population Drops Sacramento County's unhoused population plummeted 29% over the past two years to an estimated 6,615 people, according to a closely-watched survey conducted by Sacramento Steps Forward. The 2024 Point In Time Count shows a dramatic drop from the nearly 9,300 people counted in 2022, when the region's unhoused population spiked 67% from the previous survey conducted in 2019. The surveys are typically conducted every two years and are mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to qualify for federal funding. Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg discusses the strides made, as well as the ongoing challenges to overcome.

May 23, 2024 ~ The Supreme Court will soon rule on whether cities can ban 'public camping,' through a lawsuit from Grants Pass, Oregon.

A listener wants to know why it seems like the homeless population is growing. We'll look at this issue both statewide and in Missoula to put it into context.

Two new reports say the city of San Francisco and the state of California are making significant progress in the homelessness crisis, but are things really getting better, or are unhoused people just being shuffled somewhere else, with a shortage of shelter beds still a very real problem? San Francisco officials declared this week that the number of tents and tent encampments on the streets has dropped significantly, 41% since last summer. They say that's proof that the crisis is easing, partly because a federal court ruled that police can take down tents if the people in them are voluntarily refusing shelter, as opposed to having no choice because there are not enough shelter beds available. Meanwhile, another report said Governor Newsom's Project Roomkey program did help move more than 60-thousand people off the streets into hotel rooms, declaring it a success as well, but most of those people ended up moving back into homelessness eventually.  For more KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart, and Patti Reising spoke with Jennifer Friedenbach, Executive Director of the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco.

The Point in Time (PIT) count of people living on the streets or in shelters helps determine federal funding. It turns out to be fairly inaccurate. 

The annual effort to estimate the country's homeless population got underway Thursday. The Flathead Valley is trying to expand its efforts to get an accurate count.

Cities and counties across the Bay Area and California did an unusually in-depth census early this morning of people experiencing homelessness. KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern was one of the hundreds and hundreds of volunteers who took part in the point-in-time count in Oakland today. Today, he spoke with KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising about it. 

Last year's data revealed roughly 9,000 people were experiencing homelessness– an 18% increase from 2022.

City officials in San Francisco are releasing more information about the number of homeless encampments that were cleared just before APEC last month. Officials say a count done by the Department of Emergency Management showed a decrease just over 100 tents, and 365 fewer people living in vehicles. For more on this, KCBS Radio's Patti Reising spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier. 

If you've visited San Francisco in the last week, chances are you have noticed fewer unhoused people near Moscone Center and downtown.Since APEC started, streets have been cleaner and the homeless population is not as visible in downtown San Francisco.The San Francisco Standard captured encampment on Van Ness Avenue and Eddy Street two months ago. This week, a completely different look. Planter boxes now on the sidewalk. A mile from APEC.Minna Street between Seventh and Julia Streets with multiple tents, two months ago. This week cleared.

The fire erupted after midnight under a Los Angeles freeway where 16 people were living, including a pregnant woman who was only weeks from giving birth.As the flames engulfed the storage yard and the inferno's heat melted some of the thoroughfare's steel guardrails and concrete pillars, rescue crews were able to get everyone out safely. But the disaster has brought renewed criticism of officials' inability to get homeless residents off the street, leaving tens of thousands living in perilous locations across the nation's second-largest city.Three years ago, as part of a court order related to a yearslong lawsuit accusing the city and county of Los Angeles of not doing enough to address homelessness, a judge wrote that he was concerned about 7,000 people living under freeways, calling it “unreasonably dangerous.” County supervisor Hilda Solis said officials have since set aside nearly $300 million to create 6,700 shelter beds, but rows of tents and makeshift shelters are still a common sight under overpasses and along highway ramps.Support the show

Crises come in all shapes and sizes, but what happens when a crisis takes over an entire city? Brace yourselves as we journey into the heart of Casper, Wyoming, where homelessness and drug addiction have transformed the city into a refuge for the dispossessed, an epidemic that continues to spiral out of control. Mayor Bruce Nell, our guest on the show, paints a vivid picture of the devastation caused by squatting homeless populations taking over vacant properties, the environmental impact, and the consequent strain on the city's citizens and resources.But this isn't a story restricted to one city, it's a tale that resonates on a nationwide scale. We grapple with the implications of sanctuary city policies, evaluating the growing toll they take on city budgets and health services. The rising influx of homeless and addicted individuals adds an alarming layer of complexity to the problem. As we delve into the overwhelming prevalence of methamphetamine and other drugs, we shed light on how they intensify the destructive tendencies of this disoriented populace and further stress city resources. Join us as we aim to unpack these intricate issues and contemplate possible solutions.Support the show

During a portion of an interview with CNN National Correspondent Nick Watt aired on Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's “The Lead,” Jason Elliott, who serves as an Adviser to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on homelessness, defended the state spending $17.5 billion to fight homelessness over the past four years even though homelessness in the state went up by 32% by stating that the problem would be worse without the state's intervention.Watt began the report by stating “$17.5 billion. That's what California has spent fighting homelessness over the past four years. At the same time, the homeless population of the state grew by around a third.”He then played a clip of Elliott saying, “The problem would be so much worse absent these interventions, and that's not what people want to hear. I get it. We get it.”Watt then said, “Here's some reductive, back-of-the-envelope math: With 17.5 billion, in theory, the state could have just paid the rent for every unhoused person in all four years.”Support the show

The modest city of Coronado, California, has made a decisive move towards combating homelessness, their solution as simple as it is resolute - a zero-tolerance policy on encampments. Coronado's Republican mayor attributes their success to their refusal to encourage destructive behavior. They offer compassion, yes, but not the kind that tolerates a homeless individual's descent into lawlessness and drug addiction, but one that genuinely uplifts them from their plight. It's a straightforward message, get the help you need or face the law, which has transformed this California city into a sanctuary of order and prosperity.The result is no vagrants, no encampments on their sidewalks, and no tolerance for code violations. This stringent policy, when paired with a healthy partnership between the police department and homeless service providers, has reaped visible benefits for the community. It gives the homeless one clear-cut choice - help or exit. This may not be the traditional path, but the lack of tents, crime, and the overall cleanliness of the city is a testimony to its effectiveness. So, while other metropolises continue to grapple with their escalating homeless population, Coronado offers a new blueprint - one that stresses the importance of upholding the rule of law while addressing this social issue.#CoronadoPolicy #ZeroTolerance #HomelessnessSolutionSupport the show
