America's Homeless Population Reaches Record Level Under Biden Regime

America is becoming poorer after each passing day

Per the latest report by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, homelessness in the United States is reaching record levels. The Department of Housing’s figures point to 653,104 Americans being homeless in 2023.

In 2023, the homelessness numbers increased for the sixth consecutive year. Katharina Bucholz of Statista noted that the growth of homelessness in the US was slow between 2017 and 2018. However, homelessness grew from 2019 to 2020 and it ballooned in 2023 by increasing 12% compared to 2022, and even growing by 10% more than the average in the timeframe of 2007 to 2022. 

Inflation and a broader cost-of-living crisis are making America’s homelessness problems even worse, in addition to the expiration of the Wuhan virus-era protection program. It doesn’t help that the country has a weak mental health infrastructure which creates the conditions for mentally incapacitated individuals to get back on the streets. 

Concurrently, Wuhan virus restrictions on shelter capacity expired, causing more homeless individuals to return to homeless shelters. In the Wuhan virus period, the majority of the increase in homeless populations was from individuals without housing. 

The US’s homelessness problem is only going to get worse due to its lack of mental asylums, widespread inflation, and complete breakdown in the country’s social cohesion. Unfortunately, there’s no real political will to sort the US out on a socio-economic level. As a result, America’s social ills will magnify and turn into crisis level events.
