America's Homeless Population Reaches Record High Under Biden-Harris Admin

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's latest report on homelessness in the United States, 653,104 Americans were homeless in 2023.

Last year, levels of homelessness climbed for the sixth year.

While in 2017 and 2018, growth was slow, Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports that homelessness increased more in 2019 and 2020 and finally skyrocketed in 2023 by growing 12 percent compared to the year prior and even climbing 10 percent above the 2007-2022 average.
