Please read this article from the US Interagency Council on Homelessnes about data regarding the number of people experiencing homelessness, housing crises, and instability.
Data does not tell the whole story of homelessness in America, but it does tell us important information about the scale of the crises and challenges people face. A focus on data must remain central within decisions we make for crafting effective strategies, for sustaining interagency and intergovernmental efforts, and for assessing the impact of our efforts.
