Data reveals a concerning trend of rising homelessness in Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley, mirroring the fluctuations of the local economy. 2023 saw the second-highest number of homeless individuals in the region since 2011, coinciding with a period of economic growth. Similar patterns are observed across the Valley, with counties like Stanislaus, Merced, and Tulare/Kings also experiencing a surge in homelessness.
De la misma manera que la economía sube y baja, la población de personas sin hogar en Fresno y el centro del Valle de San Joaquín también aumenta y disminuye con el tiempo.
Los datos de los informes puntuales parecen reflejar eso. La población sin hogar descendió a su nivel más bajo en los últimos 17 años en 2015 en los condados de Fresno y Madera, y en 2013 en el resto del Valle. Desde esos años, la cantidad de personas que viven en las calles en general ha ido en aumento, con aumentos significativos que coinciden con la llegada de la pandemia de COVID-19 en 2020.
