Kansas considers $40 million fund to help local governments shelter homeless people
During Thursday’s discussion, Brown pointed to a 2023 Point in Time Count, an annual survey of people experiencing homelessness, to give an overview of the state’s homelessness population. The survey counted 2,636 people experiencing homelessness. An estimated 40% of those counted in the survey had some sort of disability. Of people counted, 21% of people reported living with serious mental illness. Around 16% of people surveyed reported dealing with a substance use disorder.
