It is the highest number since the survey began in 2007 and represents 70,650 more than the previous year.
The report revealed that African Americans account for 13% of the U.S. Population but account for 37% of the total homelessness.
The largest jump in homelessness was among the Hispanics which was 28% from 2022 to 2023. Family homelessness which had been reversing trends since 2012, also increased by 16%. The major factors behind the homelessness crisis in the U.S. were soaring rents and a decline in Coronavirus pandemic assistance.
