United Way Perth-Huron continues to focus on the five unignorable issues ongoing in the counties they service, including vagrancy.
Dave Reid is a chairman on their committee representing Exeter.
He says homelessness is a major concern in the area.
Not only that, but a lot of it goes unnoticed.
Reid says homelessness was on the rise prior to the pandemic and COVID-19 has only exasperated the problem.
United Way helped 2,925 people last year in South Huron, nearly 30% of its population.
