The Challenge
The number of individuals and families living homeless or unstably housed in Woodland is increasing. The January 2022 Point-In-Time survey counted 154 unsheltered individuals, plus 113 sheltered individuals for a total of 267 people living homeless, an increase of 12% over 2019. This is a five-year increase of 104% over 2017. The opening of East Beamer Way has helped, yet the numbers continue to increase.
