A total of 582,462 people experienced homelessness on a single night in January 2022, just a 0.3% increase since the last count in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in an announcement on Monday.

Unsheltered homelessness increased 3.4% compared with the 2020 count, while sheltered homelessness decreased 1.6%. Veteran homelessness decreased 11% during that time, and homelessness among families with children declined 6%. Black and indigenous people remain overrepresented among those experiencing homelessness, HUD stated.
