2023 USA Homelessness EXCEEDS HALF a MILLION and rising

118TH Congress—California to Hawaii, New York to Utah—has Problems

HUD on Homeless

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
“The 2022 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress
Part 1: Point-in-Time Estimates of Homelessness December 2022
“Between 2020 and 2022, the overall number of people experiencing homelessness increased”

“On a single night in 2022, roughly 582,500 people were experiencing homelessness in the United States.”

“On a single night in 2022, more than 30,000 people—under the age of 25—experienced homelessness on their own as ‘unaccompanied youth.’”

Six in ten (60%) homeless people were housed by “emergency shelters, safe havens, or transitional housing programs”

Four in ten (40%) homeless people were abandoned to public streets, deserted buildings, or other places not meant for lodging by human beings

Prohibitive Costs of Housing added to Poverty and Addiction

In U.S. “west coast cities’ (e.g., Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles) homelessness rates are five times” the homelessness rates of cities, e.g., in Arkansas, West Virginia, and Detroit, with much lower housing costs; but inhabitants of the latter locations are burdened with “opioid addiction and poverty.” https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2022-AHAR-Part-1.pdf

U.S. politicians, media personalities and other vacuous performers continuously in the public eye (ear) persist in prattling on about “Communism” and “Socialism,” concepts which, in their mouths, are but baby talk bent on dividing and distracting Americans; keeping them bickering among themselves, unconscious of the harm being done to them and their country. 

Carelessness in high places; gross negligence and calculated incompetence are severely injuring the health and welfare of and relations between the American people. Thus, the whole nation is rendered weak.
