July 25 - HAND is proud to release the 2022 State of Homelessness Data Brief for the Detroit Continuum of Care.
In 2022, we saw a total of 6,221 people experiencing homelessness, a 9% increase from 2021. This follows three years of decreasing numbers since 2019. To better address these shifts, we’re presenting the 2022 State of Homelessness as a data brief instead of our usual Annual Report. The Data Brief highlights the most relevant core populations and outcome data for our community. Going forward, we'll produce a comprehensive Annual Report approximately every three years.
This report reflects the The Detroit Continuum of Care’s collective vision to respond to prevent and end homelessness, grounded in racial equity, where:
The system is led by people who have experienced homelessness and who reflect the community;
Members of the community rarely experience homelessness, and when they do, it’s for a short time and only once;
Homelessness and housing priorities are intentionally aligned for housing security Housing and services are rooted in dignity.
