Problem: The city of Fresno faces a major homeless population. As of 2023, (Quintanilla, 2023) reports from the annual Fresno Madera Continuum of Care that nearly 4500 people were homeless, showing a 7% increase from the previous year. 36% of the homeless population suffers from substance abuse while 33% report mental health issues (Sheehan, 2023). This problem is further exacerbated by the lack of affordable housing. 69% of apartments are at risk of becoming unaffordable for low-income families, as stated by (Bergstrom, 2023), as well as 17,000 homes at risk of being unaffordable as well for 36,000 low-income renters. Even though $90 million spent in homelessness relief given over a period of 3 years as well as $200 million in state and federal funding since 2021, homelessness continues to rise (Warszawski, 2023). If homelessness continues to increase, it will further strain public resources like healthcare, social services, and perpetuate the cycle of poverty. Need Assignment Help?
