In 2023, the number of homeless US individuals on any given day was more than 650 000, an increase of more than 70 000 from just 1 year earlier. Individuals experiencing homelessness represent all segments of society: 30% are members of families with children, and 20% are older than 55 years. There are substantial racial disparities; 37% of unhoused people are Black (compared with 13% of US population), while Latino/Hispanic individuals comprise more than half of the recent increase in people experiencing homelessness.
