From:Julie Schaul To:City Clerk Subject:EXTERNAL - State of Homelessness: 2023 Edition - National Alliance to End Homelessness Date:Monday, May 15, 2023 9:04:20 PM KEY FACTS The current edition of this report analyzes available data on homelessness for 2022 and over time. Key facts and data points include: Homelessness has been on the rise since 2015, experiencing an overall increase of 3 percent. In 2022, counts of individuals (421,392 people) and chronically homeless individuals (127,768) reached record highs in the history of data collection. Unsheltered rates are also trending upward, impacting most racial, ethnic, and gender subgroups. Homeless services systems continued to expand the availability of both temporary and permanent beds in 2022, but these resources still fall short of reaching everyone in need. Homelessness rose by a modest 0.3 percent from 2020 to 2022, a period marked by both pandemic-related economic disruptions and robust investments of federal resources into human services. The State of Homelessness: 2023 Edition uses data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide an overview of the scope of homelessness in the U.S. on a given night in 2022, and illustrate emerging trends. Data in this report is pulled from HUD’s 2022 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count data, as well as Housing Inventory Count data. Each section features interactive charts to display this data, with highlights discussed in the text of this report. https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of- homelessness/
