'As I'm driving my daughter, we're counting the tents and there's up to 34 tents now,' Local Gregory Ellis shared. Homelessness is growing, not just in Palm Springs, but across the state.

'What we have seen across California is homelessness is the crisis of the day.' One of the most apparent areas of this growth in the city is seen right off Ramon Rd. on Crossley Rd.
