Homelessness In Juneau
Lack of affordable housing is the main cause of homelessness in our Community.
Many of our homeless guest families have been camping and/or sleeping in their vehicles (with their kids!) prior to entering shelter.
Currently, 81 children in the Juneau School District are enrolled in the Students and Families in Transition Program. This is only the recorded children, not everyone reports their current situation. During the 2018/2019 School year, 126 children were classified as homeless.
According to a 2019 Juneau Point in Time Count there are:
-
35 Un-sheltered Homeless People
-
72 Homeless People in an Emergency Shelter
-
103 Homeless People in Transitional Housing
