Nashville’s latest annual census of the city’s unhoused population found 2,180 people in shelters or living unsheltered on one night in January, a 4% increase from the previous year, according to WPLN. In contrast, homelessness nationwide rose by 18% over the same period. Each year, volunteers canvas the county during a single evening to conduct the “point-in-time” count. Metro officials noted that this year’s count occurred on a night with below-freezing temperatures, which led to the opening of additional shelter spaces and may have contributed to the higher total.
