The latest federal report indicates that over 770,000 people are experiencing homelessness, marking an 18% increase, largely attributed to the housing crisis and migration.
While nearly all demographics of those experiencing homelessness saw an increase, the number of homeless veterans declined significantly due to bipartisan support for targeted services.
The political divide around the issue of homelessness seems to widen, with Democrats attributing the rise to housing costs and Republicans advocating for stricter aid conditions.
Experts warn the sharp increase in homelessness, particularly among children and families, signals an urgent need for comprehensive reforms and expansion of the safety net.
