Ok let me preface this by saying every single person experiencing homelessness deserves the security of a roof over their head and more.
<150,000 is surprisingly low to me.
Is this nationwide? The upward trend is concerning no doubt, clearly something is wrong is more people are experiencing chronic homelessness at a rapidly rising rate. But honest to god I am shocked to see it isn’t at least 1-2mill nationwide.
Edit: thinking about it now 1 in 300 would be pretty high
It is a notoriously hard metric to track
Yeah and my 1-2mill would mean 1 in 150-300 which would be pretty high tbh
But think of all the people you know living in vans and campers. For me, these days that's a lot of people. I really don't think that's enough either
Why don't they just go door to.... ah, nevermind.
