The number of homeless people in Saskatoon continues to rise.

The latest point-in-time count in the city took place on Oct. 16 and tallied 1,931 people experiencing homelessness.

That is up roughly 30 per cent from one year ago, when the same one-day count found 1,499 people.

It continues a "concerning" upward trend in the numbers, said Lesley Anderson, director of planning and development for the City of Saskatoon. Three years ago in 2022, the count identified 550 people.
