- Q: What is the trend for unhoused people in the U.S.?
- A: It is difficult to determine a trend for unhoused people in the U.S. as a whole, as homelessness can vary significantly from region to region and can be influenced by a variety of factors such as the availability of affordable housing, employment opportunities, and access to social services. However, it is worth noting that the overall trend of homelessness in the U.S. has generally been on the decline in recent years, according to data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Between 2010 and 2019, the total number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in the U.S. declined by about 13%, and the number of people experiencing chronic homelessness (defined as individuals who have been continuously homeless for a year or more or have had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years) declined by about 37%. However, it is important to note that these decreases have not been evenly distributed across the country, and some areas may have seen increases in homelessness. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on homelessness in the U.S., and it is unclear how this will affect future trends.
