Number of homeless residents in D.C. falls to lowest point in 17 years, mayor says
Bowser said the count, conducted Jan. 26, found about 4,400 people experiencing homelessness — about a 14 percent decline from last year and the lowest number going back to at least 2005. The 2016 point-in-time count, conducted after Bowser began implementing Homeward DC, her strategic plan to fight homelessness, found about 8,400 homeless people.This year’s count also showed a 14 percent decline in family homelessness, Bowser said, and a 12 percent decline in homelessness among single adults.
In a statement, Bowser said this progress — a 47 percent decrease in homelessness since the launch of Homeward DC — was “a culmination of years working together — across government, with our community partners and providers, and with residents in all eight wards.” “While we are proud of these results, we know there’s more work to do,” Bowser said in a statement. “We know that the pandemic has changed the way people experience homelessness, including more people living in encampments, and we need to be responsive to those changes.”
