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
