U.S. Homelessness Reaches Record High in 2024
Did you know that in 2024, the number of people without a home in the United States has reached a record high? 🏠 It’s the second year in a row that more and more people are finding themselves without a place to live.
But why is this happening? Let’s break it down:
- Financial Instability: Many families are having trouble with money. When jobs are lost or expenses become too high, it’s hard to afford rent or a house.
- More Asylum Seekers: People from other countries are coming to the U.S. to find safety. Sometimes they arrive without a home to go to.
- Natural Disasters: Events like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods can destroy homes, leaving people without shelter.
Homelessness means not having a stable, safe place to sleep at night. It can affect anyone—adults, kids, and even entire families.
Understanding these challenges helps us think about how we can make a difference. What ideas do you have to help people who don’t have a home?
