Delta Sees 70% Spike in Homelessness, Report Finds

Delta has seen a 70% surge in homelessness—the highest in Metro Vancouver—according to the 2025 preliminary Homeless Count released July 30. The region overall saw a 9% increase, with unsheltered homelessness rising significantly. White Rock and Surrey also reported higher numbers, while Indigenous people remain disproportionately affected. Experts warn that shelter capacity is falling behind the growing demand. The full report will be released in September.
