## Resource

Homelessness in Wichita and Sedgwick County is exploding—up 147% since 2020—with families often couch surfing or staying in cheap hotels, not sleeping on streets. Low wages, lack of affordable housing, and fragile support systems are pushing people over the edge. Surprisingly, 80% of those experiencing homelessness find their own way out, revealing both resilience and the urgent need for stronger safety nets.
