More Americans Are Ending Up Homeless—at a Record Rate

Whenever the right is in power, homelessness is blamed in them.

Why is Biden getting a free pass on the rise in homelessness?

His name is not mentioned in this CBS story.

Two years after pandemic aid ended, homelessness in cities and states across the U.S. is on the rise.

Organizations that count homeless people have seen increases in the number of unsheltered individuals compared with 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported

Roughly 421,400 people were homeless in the U.S. last year, and 127,750 of them were chronically homeless, meaning they didn’t have a place to stay for a year or more, according to National Alliance to End Homelessness data. Homelessness rates have been climbing nationally by about 6% every year since 2017, the alliance said. 

The increase in the number of people without a place to live comes amid soaring housing costs and rising prices for essentials like food and transportation. The federal government sent $817 billion in stimulus payments to Americans, according to a New York Times estimate, but that lifeline ended in March 2021. 

“There’s no cash coming in from the government anymore,” Amy Quackenboss, executive director at the American Bankruptcy Institute, told CBS MoneyWatch in February. “There are several people who haven’t been able to weather that storm.”

  2. The economy and drugs is the reason. Government at all levels destroyed the economy and the federal government is the reason drugs are so bad, thanks to an open border.

  3. “soaring housing costs and rising prices for essentials like food and transportation.”

    No mention of democrats constantly hiking taxes and inventing problems to create crippling regulations on these things either.

  4. 2 1/2 years ago it was:
    Unity, Unity, Unity.
    Build Back Better, Build Back Better, Build Back Better.

    All we’ve seen is:
    Divide, Divide, Divide.
    Destroy, Destroy, Destroy.

  5. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a feature, and not a bug, of the plan that has been set in motion for us. It’s a damn shame that more of the general population does not see this. As a result, they’re going to kill off a bunch of us….both sides of the spectrum. Sides do not matter to the machine, only continued existence. Fuck hope. 🖕
