Homelessness Soars in Wichita Area
Description
Homelessness in Wichita and Sedgwick County is surging, with a 147% spike since 2020 and over 2,000 households without shelter last year—driven by skyrocketing housing costs. While shelters and housing navigators are helping, the crisis demands urgent action. January counts hit 859 people, mostly in Sedgwick County, though Kansas still ranks better than most states. United Way is expanding housing-focused shelters and navigator programs to turn the tide together.
