@pbsnews: U.S. sees dramatic rise in homelessness among families in 2024 Homelessness in America reached record-high numbers in 2024. A government report shows that in January, people experiencing homelessness shot up by 18 percent to roughly 770,000. The annual survey pointed to economic problems like rising housing costs and a migrant influx in some cities. Lisa Desjardins discussed more with Shaun Donovan, former secretary of Housing and Urban Development. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #homeless #homelessness #houseless #housing #housingmarket #economics #news

I guarantee it’s closer to 25% or more if you consider people that are staying w family/freinds/motels/our of their cars w no other option. It’s TOO expensive to live now

Instead of making it illegal to be homeless, they should make it illegal for people to raise rent so high that no one can afford to live you know how about that

In our town, we have a 6% vacancy rate at market rate housing. And an industry that refuses to build anything that is below market rate, even with incentives. This is trickle down housing.

‘Best economy’ we’ve ever had, record stock market, richest country in history. Broken system that every day looks like this: rich 📈; poor 📉. The data is there, news agencies CHOOSING to not report.

It’s $1500 at minimum to rent a 1br anywhere around Denver (and you won’t be living anywhere nice and safe for it, expect nothing to work, crime, and bugs) and jobs are paying $15/hr. Figure it out.

For a one bed and one bath in Colorado it's 1,200. minimum wage is 11.00. I'm tired, I will never own a home or be financially comfortable.
