Homelessness is rising due to high living costs, as shelters struggle to provide support and housing

Keystone Mission in Wilkes-Barre sees rising homelessness, with staff like Diana Delgado striving to support those in need. The U.S. experienced an 18% increase in homelessness in 2024, with Pennsylvania seeing a 12% rise. The high cost of living and unaffordable housing exacerbate the crisis. Organizations like NEPA Youth Shelter provide vital assistance, but more community support is needed.
