Homelessness Rising in Sedgwick County

Homelessness Rising in Sedgwick County

Published 2 days, 22 hours ago
Description

Homelessness in Sedgwick County is surging—with over 850 people now without stable housing—and it’s hitting seniors hardest, with their numbers doubling since 2020. Amid rising costs and paycheck-to-paycheck living for one in three households, even small setbacks can trigger homelessness. But hope is growing: local groups are helping more people exit homelessness faster than nationally, with over 1,300 successfully housed last year. Next month, a new program called United for Families will launch to support families with kids, offering early help and resources to prevent crisis before it strikes.
