Our homeless response system, which provides critical support to people experiencing homelessness in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park, is facing a crisis. The 2024 Point-in-Time count showed a 16% increase in homelessness in Detroit, with a 35% rise in families experiencing homelessness. Chronic homelessness also surged by 26%, underscoring the need for expanded resources and policy interventions.
