According to reports, the homeless population in the United States is on track to hit a new record in 2024.
Preliminary data collected and reviewed include: The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) showed that the number of people living in encampments, on the streets and in shelters has increased since 2023. Reported Saturday.

The figures, from more than 250 homeless-outreach groups covering cities, metropolitan areas and vast rural areas, reflect the homeless landscape as it existed on a single night earlier this year. The Journal's tally includes about 550,000 homeless people so far, up about 10% from the number those groups reported last year.
Based on historical trends, the homeless population in the US is likely to surpass an estimated 653,000 people in 2023, the highest figure since the government began reporting comparable data in 2007.
of journal The Post said the final figure would depend on data from areas that haven't released numbers this year, including New York City, which the Post said had the highest figure for 2023.
“The recent increase was driven by migrants bused from Texas to Chicago and Denver who ended up in shelters there. New York, where migrants have long had a legal right to stay in shelters, has also seen significant arrivals, increasing last year's count,” the article said, noting that the count was mainly conducted in January, when illegal border crossings surged.
The homeless numbers are rising along with the number of people who cross the border illegally before applying for asylum and being bused to major cities across the U.S. Their arrival drains taxpayer money and brings crime and gang violence. New York Post Reported on sunday.
