The United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, which federal officials attribute to a rising number of asylum seekers, lack of affordable housing and natural disasters.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on Friday released its 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report: Part 1: Point-in-Time (PIT) Estimates, which documents the number of people in shelters, temporary housing and unsheltered settings. 

The report found more than 770,000 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2024, an 18% increase from 2023.
