In an encouraging development for the Durbanville Central Business District CBD, recent monitoring reports from the Durbanville Neighbourhood Watch NHW indicate tangible progress in tackling homelessness in the area.
The NHWs findings, which were obtained by Northern News , reveal a concerted effort to address the rising profiles of homeless individuals through systematic monitoring and assistance programmes.
From September 2023 to April 2024, the NHW undertook five profiling initiatives, assessing a total of 256 homeless individuals. The data reveals a significant reduction in the number of homeless individuals: from 76 in September 2023 to just 34 by April 2024.
