(The Center Square) – A new report reveals that over 50% of homeless individuals in Spokane moved there after losing housing and that local policies have turned it into a destination city.

Marbut Consulting conducted the study for the Spokane Business Association and surveyed hundreds of homeless individuals downtown. The company specifically asked where the people were born and lived before losing housing, as the region spends millions addressing the crisis.
