Veteran homelessness increased by 7.4% in 2023

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) • Dec 17, 2023

This is a subtitle for your new post

"The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the results of the 2023 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, the annual effort to estimate the number of Americans, including Veterans, without permanent housing.

The data showed that on a single night in January 2023, there were 35,574 Veterans who experienced homelessness in the U.S. This reflects a 7.4% increase in the number of Veterans experiencing homelessness from 2022.


Despite these increases, there is still an overall downward trend in Veteran homelessness. The estimated number of Veterans experiencing homelessness in the U.S. has declined by 52.0% since 2010. Within the last three years alone, there has been approximately a 4% overall reduction in Veteran homelessness."


What I've seen in NYC is a disconnect of access to resources that should be available to veterans experiencing homelessness and the providers delegated to provide those resources.
