Frequently Asked Questions
How many people experience homelessness in South Bend?
In 2023, there were 602 shelter beds in South Bend, always full with long waiting lists. In addition, there are 335 units of Permanent Supportive Housing that use the Coordinated Entry system. Including non-profits, there are 119 sober living spots. In total, 1056 units of sheltered housing was available across the city. Unsheltered emergency housing at weather amnesty averages 50 people a night, with a high of 83.
What is low barrier housing and how does it work?
Low-barrier housing doesn’t require a person to have good credit, a clean criminal background, or even be in good health. But when you give a person housing, they no longer have to worry about their safety because they’re sleeping in a car or under a bridge. They don’t have to worry about hygiene and health because they have access to hot showers. And they don’t have to worry about what will happen to their possessions because they have a space of their own to store their belongings.
In other words, spending more on reducing barriers to care and housing, and improving the quality of treatment so that people with addiction actually want to participate is far more effective than other measures.
