The state government announced a shortage of about five hundred beds in shelters for the most vulnerable homeless people. Officials say the deficit hampers the ability to provide safe accommodation to those in greatest need. There is a reported significant demand for additional long‑term housing options. Short‑term accommodation is also in short supply, according to the statement. Health and medical assistance for the homeless population is identified as another urgent requirement. The authorities underline that expanding capacity and services is essential to address the growing need.
