U.S. homelessness jumps to another record high, amid affordable housing shortage

by admin

Staff for the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust in Florida tally the number of people living unsheltered in downtown Miami, late on Jan. 26, 2024. The annual point-in-time count is a nationwide census mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The annual federal count finds more than 770,000 people living in shelters or outside. It cites rising rents and the recent surge in migrants as key factors behind the increase.
