Homelessness in Perspective
-
Homelessness has been on the rise since 2017, experiencing an overall increase of 6 percent.
-
In 2022, counts of individuals (421,392 people) and chronically homeless individuals (127,768) reached record highs in the history of data collection.
-
Unsheltered rates are also trending upward, impacting most racial, ethnic, and gender subgroups.
-
Homeless services systems continued to expand the availability of both temporary and permanent beds in 2022, but these resources still fall short of reaching everyone in need.
-
Homelessness rose by a modest 0.3 percent from 2020 to 2022, a period marked by both pandemic-related economic disruptions and robust investments of federal resources into human services.
