A CRISIS YOU CAN'T IGNORE
From statistics to stories, we shed light on the
issue
of homelessness in America
Educating, empowering, and advocating for change
Homelessness is a complex issue that affects millions of people across the United States. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, on any given night in 2020, there were approximately 580,466 individuals experiencing homelessness in America. These individuals may be living on the streets, in emergency shelters, or in transitional housing programs.
The causes of homelessness are varied and complex, but some of the most common factors include a lack of affordable housing, poverty, mental illness, and substance abuse. Families with children make up a significant portion of the homeless population, accounting for 33% of the total homeless population in the country. Additionally, veterans are also disproportionately affected by homelessness, making up approximately 7% of the total homeless population in the United States.
The state of California has the highest homeless population in the country, with an estimated 160,000 people experiencing homelessness as of 2020. New York has the second-highest homeless population in the country, with an estimated 92,000 people experiencing homelessness. Other states with high rates of homelessness include Florida, Texas, and Washington.
Homelessness can have a devastating impact on individuals and communities. Homeless individuals are more likely to experience a range of health problems, including malnutrition, infectious diseases, and mental health disorders. They may also face significant barriers to employment and education, making it difficult to break the cycle of homelessness.
Despite the challenges, there are many organizations and initiatives working to address homelessness in the United States. These efforts include providing emergency shelter and housing programs, connecting individuals with support services, and advocating for policy changes to address the root causes of homelessness. By working together, we can end homelessness and create a brighter future for all individuals and families across the country.
