Homelessness in America reached an all-time high in 2023, making many across the country fear what 2024 will bring and what is being done to address the country's growing homeless crisis. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), an estimated 653,104 people experienced homelessness on a single night in 2023, a 12% jump from 2022, making it the highest number of homeless people since the country began using the yearly point-in-time survey in 2007. One factor for the increase in homelessness was the end of pandemic programs such as the eviction moratorium as well as jumps in rental costs. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, data shows the U.S, had been making steady progress in reducing the homeless population as the government focused on increasing investments to get veterans into housing. The number of homeless people dropped from about 637,000 in 2010 to about 554,000 in 2017. The number of people who became homeless between the federal fiscal years of 2021 to 2022 jumped 25%, HUD noted in the report. The 2022 fiscal year ended in September 2022.Veteran homelessness increased by 7.4% last year for the largest surge in 12 years, as revealed by HUD's annual report. On a single night in Jan. 2023, there were 35,574 homeless veterans in the U.S., the report also uncovered. Unsheltered veterans represented nearly 80% of the overall increase in homelessness seen in 2023. New York City, the nation's most populated city, leads as the city with the largest population of homeless people at over 88,000. New York’s homelessness went up more than three times the national rate, according to HUD’s report.
