Record Homelessness In US Blamed On Migrant Crisis
2024 saw an 18% increase in the unsheltered population—the largest year-over-year jump since HUD began tracking homelessness in 2007

A record number of people within the United States faced homelessness in 2024, with increased migrant populations reportedly contributing to the surge.

Over 770,000 individuals were counted as homeless on a single night, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This marks an 18% increase in the unsheltered population—the largest year-over-year jump since HUD began tracking homelessness in 2007.


HUD data identified a growing number of migrants sent to sanctuary cities, such as New York, Chicago, and Denver, as a factor in the double digit increase. Texas Governor Greg Abbott's relocation program has brought thousands of immigrants and asylum-seekers to these cities, exacerbating existing housing shortages.

The report highlighted a significant rise in Hispanic homelessness, which increased by one-third in 2024, with unsheltered Latinos experiencing homelessness at twice the national average. Family homelessness also saw a sharp 39% uptick over the past year.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The influx of (mostly illegal alien) migrants certainly contributes, but the economic policies of the state government in California and of a lot of "blue" cities are also to blame.

All the no-tell motel rooms that were being used as overflow shelters were filled with illegal immigrants after homeless American citizens were evicted from the rooms.

Housing is expensive due to lack of inventory in the Northeast.  The limousine liberal NIMBY's won't allow more housing to be built, but those same state and local governments will buy open land and set it aside as 'conservation' land.

My town used Massachusetts Community Preservation Act money (collected as a property surtax) to act as a defacto real investment estate trust.  They bought a piece of land.  They held it for a few years.  They sold it for a profit.  When a developer wanted to build 40 units of housing on the land, the town bought it back at higher price.  That lot is now a nature 'reservation'.

The current housing inavailability crisis in the Northeast is a problem created by Government.
