Modest rise in U.S. homelessness

By Duncan Mil

September 24, 2019 - Het aantal daklozen in de VS is voor het tweede jaar op rij
licht gestegen – tot bijna 553.000 in 2018 – na een zeven jaar
lange gestage daling, door een toename van chronische dakloosheid.

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.
