What happened: A new study is showing an alarming rise in the potential number of unhoused people in Vancouver by 2030 due to the lack of shelter space in the city, according to the study This Isn’t Working by the Carnegie Housing Project.
Numbers: Unless action is taken, the number of homeless could increase by almost an additional 2,000 people to 4,700 in the next six years, according to CityNews. Right now there are 1,255 additional shelter rate housing planned for 2030 which is well below the number of future expected homeless people.
