The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's latest report illustrates something people across the country already know: More people than ever need help paying rent. More people than ever can’t afford their basic needs. More people than ever are becoming homeless for the first time. And homelessness is up because our federal, state, and local leaders haven’t addressed that. https://lnkd.in/eHViGfBb
Homelessness soared to the highest level on record this year, driven by forces that included a surge in migrants seeking asylum, a national housing crisis and the end of pandemic-era measures to protect the needy, the federal government reported on Friday. The number of people experiencing homelessness topped 770,000, an increase of more than 18 percent over last year and the largest annual increase since the count began in 2007. Nearly every category of unhoused people grew, with the rise especially steep among children and people in families. The report, released by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, showed that homelessness had risen by a third in the past two years, after years of only modest fluctuations. The agency blamed factors such as “our worsening national affordable-housing crisis,” inflation and the end of certain aid programs from the pandemic. But federal officials on a call with reporters placed special emphasis on the rise in asylum-seeking migrants who overwhelmed the shelter systems where much of the increase occurred.

Breaking down misconceptions: Being homeless doesn't automatically categorize someone as harmful or a criminal. Instead of stereotyping, let's remember: the bulk of their effort is directed towards finding shelter and staying alive, battling daily adversities, all the while showing remarkable resilience, resourcefulness, and a powerful drive to regain stability. Empathy and compassion can help us understand the issues at the heart of homelessness and inspire effective, supportive solutions. 🙌 #EndTheStigma #SupportSystem #HomelessnessAwareness
