How America is solving homelessness in cities?

Here is the reality of homelessness in the US.


KEY FINDINGS​

  • Over 580,000 Americans are experiencing homelessness. There are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S.
  • While cities like New York City, Los Angeles and Seattle have some of the largest unhoused populations in the country, Detroit has the most vacant homes per unhoused person–116 empty homes per unhoused person.
  • Syracuse, New York has the second-most vacant homes per unhoused person–110 vacant homes per unhoused person.
  • San Jose, California has the highest population of Gen-Z youth experiencing homelessness with nearly 85 unhoused Gen-Zers for every 100,000 residents.
  • Pacific Islander and Black Americans are the populations most at risk to experience homelessness.

Basically, there are actually more homes than homeless people. The cause, at least for the visual aspect of the issue, came from local city policies. If we take 1/2 off the available homes because of prices, then we must also remove 1/2 of the homeless because of mental health issues. But no matter what, it still comes down to local city leadership.
