September 24, 2019 -
El número de personas sin hogar en EUA se incrementó ligeramente por segundo año consecutivo – a casi 553.000 en 2018 – luego
de descender constantemente durante siete años, impulsado el aumento de personas sin hogar en situación crónica.
Some two-thirds of America’s homeless (65%) were staying in sheltered locations -- emergency shelters or transitional housing programmes. The remainder were on the street, in abandoned buildings, or other places not suitable for human habitation.
Homelessness increased (though modestly) for the second year in a row. The number of homeless people on a single night increased by 0.3 per cent between 2017 and 2018.
Almost half of all people experiencing homelessness are in three states: California, with 129,972 people, New York with 91,897, and Florida with 31,030 homeless.
