Spokane’s Homelessness Numbers Spark Debate
Description
Spokane’s homelessness numbers keep falling—down to 1,738 people in January—but a new survey is sparking debate: are more people becoming homeless here, or just moving to Spokane after already experiencing homelessness elsewhere? City officials say most residents were already in the county before losing housing, while a Business Association survey claims over half had been homeless before arriving. The city questions the survey’s methods and sample size, but both sides agree on one thing: better treatment and job programs could save money and help people rebuild their lives.
