Homelessness In Newport Beach On The Decline, Report Says
NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Homelessness in Newport Beach is on the decline, according to the recently released 2024 Point in Time Count. According to the report, Newport Beach's numbers decreased from the previous count, from 96 individuals in 2022 to 71 in 2024. "While this number fluctuates, as documented in the city's monthly assessments, I believe some of the reduction can be attributed to our proactive approach," Newport Beach City Manager Grace Leung said. "[This includes] municipal ordinances approved as part of a comprehensive program designed to help unhoused members of the community find stable, permanent housing."Countywide, the number of homeless people — both sheltered and unsheltered — increased by 28 percent from 2022, from 5,718 to 7,322, according to the report.Leung said that the city's approach to addressing homelessness in recent years has been a priority focus of the city council. "Our homeless response now includes a dedicated police officer and homeless services manager; temporary shelter beds; full-time outreach teams; mobile mental health care; benefits counseling; new ordinances to reduce camping and other activities on public property; referrals to federal state, county and nonprofit programs and more," she said.To lean more about the county's biennial Point in Time count, visit the county's website.The article Homelessness In Newport Beach On The Decline, Report Says appeared first on Newport Beach-Corona Del Mar, CA Patch.
