The United States has seen an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, largely driven by the lack of affordable housing, natural disasters, and a surge of migrants.
The report highlighted a concerning trend of nearly 40% rise in family homelessness, particularly in cities like Denver, Chicago, and New York City, where migrant influx impacted communities.
HUD Agency Head Adrianne Todman emphasized that "No American should face homelessness" and reaffirmed the administration's commitment to ensuring every family has access to quality housing.
Statistics show African-Americans are disproportionately affected by homelessness, making up 32% of the homeless population while only representing 12% of the overall population.
