Charity’s 2024 Annual Report shows year-over-year increase in homelessness
Local charity HOME shedding light on the rising number of individuals suffering homelessness in Bermuda.
In their recently released 2024 Annual Report, HOME says that “the headline number of people experiencing homelessness has increased from just over 800 at the end of 2023 to over 1,100 at the end of 2024.”
Cross-collaboration between government, non-profits, and the private sector sees stakeholders attempting to address the issue.
The report states that “The shortage of homes and high rents in Bermuda cause homelessness. They also make it difficult for people to move on from homelessness. Accommodation for a minimum of 1,300 people is needed today (1,100 identified people experiencing homelessness and 200 applicants for Bermuda Housing Corporation housing).”
“There needs to be a steep change in the provision of secure, decent and affordable housing.”
