The homelessness rate in the United States has increased by 18.1%, and federal officials believe the lack of affordable housing, devastating natural disasters, and a surge of migrant arrivals in major cities.

According to the Associated Press, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed that over 770,000 people were counted as homeless during nationwide tallies conducted in January. These numbers do not include those who are staying with friends or family due to a lack of permanent housing.

HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman stated, “No American should face homelessness. The Biden administration is committed to combating this crisis. Our focus must remain on evidence-based solutions to prevent and end homelessness.” One significant trend in homelessness is the 40% increase in family homelessness, particularly in cities such as Denver, Chicago, and New York.

Natural disasters also contributed significantly to the rise. The catastrophic Maui wildfire of 2023, the deadliest in over a century, left more than 5,200 people in emergency shelters during the January count. Advocates and policymakers are pushing for more investments in affordable housing and support systems.

However, there has been an 8% decrease in homelessness among veterans due to federal programs, and major cities like Dallas and Los Angeles have seen significant declines.

  1. People earning $60 -70k are struggling with rent that is ridiculously and needlessly high in NJ. And it’s not just the corporations that the news keeps reporting on. It’s private landlords renting condos, townhouses etc. 2 br units are renting for $2900-$3000 in 08823 and townhouses selling for $500k. There is no reason rent or home prices should be so high. Pure greed needs to be dealt with.

  2. FAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS

    Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes. On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr. So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more.
