Concern for the plight of the homeless in California has plummeted in recent years.
But San Jose Spotlight reports that Homelessness still remains a top concern in the Bay Area, with about three quarters of those responding to the poll saying they were either “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned.”
Despite a lessening concern, homelessness in the state reached record highs in 2024, according to the latest data available. California had nearly 190,000 homeless people – accounting for nearly a third of the U.S. homeless population according to last year’s point-in-time count.
