The State of Homelessness: Created by National Alliance to End Homelessness, 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 , and illustrate emerging trends. Data in this report is pulled from HUD’s Point-in-Time (PIT) Count data, as well as Housing Inventory Count data.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released the 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR), revealing sobering new data on our unhoused neighbors. On a single night in 2024, 771,480 people – or about 23 of every 10,000 individuals in the United States – experienced homelessness. This marks an 18% increase from the previous year and the highest number ever recorded nationally, underscoring the urgent need for systemic solutions to this growing crisis.
Homelessness Awareness Month held during the month of November encourages participation with HomeAid.
This is a perfect time to bring greater awareness to the needs of local communities, as well as provide a way to give back and become involved with HomeAid. You only need energy and imagination to develop your own community engagement program and bring attention to our ongoing battle to end homelessness.
