Homeless in Columbus?

The 2021 Point in Time Count was 245 which represents the total unsheltered and known sheltered individuals experiencing homelessness. While this does not give us the number of individuals who are at risk of homelessness or are temporary housed, this gives us an estimate of the individuals in need of services at a given time in Columbus/Muscogee County. The majority of these individuals are experiencing an emergency or immediate housing crisis, followed by those in transitional housing, and 10% of the homeless population being chronic.

Trinity and Grace House serve to provide transitional housing to men and women with over 60% leaving for permanent housing. With resources for food, housing, and jobs, SafeHouse Ministries seeks to address the needs of people needing emergency assistance and offer resources for success.
