According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's latest report on homelessness in the United States, 653,104 Americans were homeless in 2023.
In 2023, sheltered populations rose by almost 14 percent, while unhoused populations rose by less than 10 percent.
The 2023 number now retired that record, surpassing it by 1 percent.
However, the share of the sheltered homeless population held steady at around 60-61 percent since the pandemic started.
During Covid-19, most of the increase in homeless populations had come from unhoused individuals.
Last year, levels of homelessness climbed for the sixth year.
