A new brief from #MNHomelessStudy shows a clear increase in unsheltered homelessness over the past decade. In 2023, 23% of adults experiencing homelessness spent more than half of the month outside, in a car or vacant building, or on public transportation. The data points to the importance of shelter and targeted services that meet individual needs. Get the results: https://lnkd.in/gMMg6Vxn
