The Crisis
Scope of the problem
The issue of homeless people throughout USA, and in particular Houston, is an enormous problem.
According to the Coalition for the Homeless, an updated count of the number of homeless people was conducted January 23, 2023. This revealed that there were 3,270 people living without homes in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. The results reflect an 18% decrease in overall homelessness in the area since 2020, the last count conducted prior to the pandemic. Overall, the region has seen a 61% reduction in homelessness since 2011.
In 2023 the count found 1,242 people living unsheltered, a decrease of 17% since 2022. Meanwhile, the 2023 Count found 2,028 people staying in shelter, an increase of 18% over 2022. Demographic data suggests that people didn’t simply relocate from the streets to shelter. The increase in the sheltered number is likely due to relaxation of pandemic restrictions on maximum shelter bed occupancy levels.
Knowing and caring empowers us to help make the lives of our homeless neighbors better. We do this through simple acts of kindness. We cannot do everything, but we can do something. Knowing our homeless neighbors opens our eyes and hearts to their joys and sorrows. Knowing who our homeless neighbors are and what factors contribute to homelessness reminds us that we are all people, we should all have dignity, and we all deserve respect.
HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICA
According to stats from USA Facts, About 653,000 Americans experienced homelessness in January 2023 according to Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) point-in-time data, which measures homelessness across the US on a single night each winter. That’s a 12.1% increase from the same report in 2022. At least 14% of Americans experience homeless at some point.
MILITARY
26% of the homeless are military veterans (2022). The number of homeless veterans rose more than 7% from 2022 to 2023.
