The Pikes Peak Continuum of Care (PPCoC) reported a 34 percent increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness in El Paso County compared with the previous year. The report’s authors call it “the highest number of shelter (sic) and unsheltered ever surveyed during a Point In Time in El Paso County.”
To come up with this report, more than 100 surveyors hit the streets for a single night in January to count people experiencing homelessness.
