Quick Facts/Statistics
Below are snippets of the most recent data and trends affecting the Pensacola area, focusing on homelessness, affordable housing needs, and the impact of local nonprofits.
"Homeless Count Undercount?"
Even with more resources to conduct the federally mandated count of people experiencing homelessness in Northwest Florida and the highest count in eight years, the preliminary numbers still appear to show a large under-count of the area's homeless population.

"Homelessness Up 30%"
Opening Doors of Northwest Florida is reporting the preliminary numbers from this year's "point in time" count on its website at 949 people recorded as homeless in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The number is a 30% increase over the previous year's count of 727 and the highest number recorded in the count since 2015.

"4,800 Affordable Units Needed"
Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves is expecting push-back to reforms to the city's land development code, which will likely include changes that will make it easier to build affordable rental housing in the city. Data found there is a need of more 4,831 affordable rental units for individuals making 60% of the region's area median income or less in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. IMPACT 100 Pensacola Bay Area will award over $1.2 million to local nonprofit organizations.
