[Center on Budget @CenterOnBudget]

New @HUDgov numbers show that "on a single night in January 2020, there were more than 580,000 individuals who were homeless in the United States, a 2% increase from the year before."

And that was before the pandemic.

Those disproportionately affected by homelessness are also those disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and its follow-up economic effects. National, state, and local responses to people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness must center racial equity. The evidence is clear.

Black or African Americans and Indigenous peoples remained considerably overrepresented among people experiencing homelessness. #homelessness #AHAR
