The survey counted around 4,177 homeless people, with many citing family trauma, substance abuse, and economic hardship as contributing factors. The discussion highlighted the urgent need for more permanent shelters across Tshwane and the importance of community support to address this crisis. After the pilot program, the results reveal that the homeless population is primarily male, with significant numbers of youth and adults affected, underscoring the social and economic challenges faced by the city.
