U.S. homelessness reached another record high in 2024
Briefly

"In the 13 communities that reported being affected by migration, family homelessness more than doubled; meanwhile, in the remaining 373 communities, the rise in families experiencing homelessness was less than 8%."
"This report reflects data collected a year ago and likely does not represent current circumstances, given changed policies and conditions," HUD said in a statement.
"The survey was taken at the end of significant rental cost increases. Since then, rents have flattened or decreased, and rental costs have also stabilized since Maui wildfires exacerbated the housing crisis."
"For households led by single mothers, the supplemental measure of poverty increased to 29% in 2023 from 2018 levels, signifying a deepening crisis for this demographic."
