Point-in-time count
2371 people in any type of unhoused-ness in late 2024.
About half living in various forms of "rough".
A community of tents is much more manageable for people in constant fight-or-flight mode than a barracks-style shelter just from compartmentalization and reduction of stimuli.
I look at the 50-storey buildings downtown and think "there are thousands of people right there" but we don't worry about each other because there are paper-thin walls between all of us.
