摘要:After steady declines in homelessness from 2007 through 2014, the number of people without homes in California has now risen for three consecutive years. This is occurring not just in major cities and urban areas but also in rural California. Homelessness is no longer confined to our major metropolitan areas but has spread to every part of our state. The rise is earmarked by large increases in the number of unsheltered homeless people — those who not only have no place to call home, but are unable to find even temporary shelter.
