A Look at the Numbers: The State of Homelessness

The 2025 State of Homelessness Report shows how urgent this crisis is — and why your support is more important than ever. Homelessness is at an all time high, but we’re working harder than ever to reverse the trend and create lasting solutions that actually work.

KEY STATS:

  • 745,652 people experienced homelessness on a single night in January 2025, a 3.4% decrease over the previous year. However, homelessness has had a 27% overall increase since 2013.
  • More than 266,320 people are unsheltered, which is a 2.9% decrease from the highest number ever recorded in 2023.
  • One in three people experiencing homelessness (about 156,000) reported having chronic patterns of homelessness, the highest ever counted in a single night.
  • In the last year, the number of families with children experiencing homelessness decreased by over 11%, while individuals without families saw an increase of .6%, the highest reported number for this group.
