The homeless population in Sonoma County has gone up for the first time since 2011, and last year’s North Bay fires are partially to blame, according to a Sonoma County Homeless Count Report released Friday.
Sonoma County lost 5 percent of its housing stock during the wildfires, so county officials aren’t surprised that the latest homeless count conducted in February shows a 6 percent increase in the county’s homeless population. A separate telephone survey found that more than 10,000 people are in shaky living situations like couch surfing.
