A report released Friday by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) showed the number of people experiencing homelessness has risen by 12 percent across the board since last year — or by more than 70,000 cases. The results of the headcount, taken in January, mark the highest level of homelessness since the department began.
HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge said the results show an “urgent” need for solutions.
“Homelessness should not exist in the United States,” Fudge wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“The data released today underscores the urgent need for support for proven solutions and strategies that help people quickly exit homelessness and that prevent homelessness in the first place,” she added.
