While these estimates often underreport the extent of the unhoused population, the more immediately concerning statistical disparity relates to the number of shelters in Charlottesville.

This means that, in the coldest months of the year, there is a dire shortage of available shelter beds for the unhoused population.

Critics of sanctuary cities consistently misrepresent them as dangerous and economically stagnant. Similarly, Youngkin has trafficked in a vehemently inaccurate perception of these laws, espousing a policy that is ignorant to the benefits that sanctuary laws can create for a city.
