Washington-Sana
Official data revealed a significant increase in homelessness across the United States in recent years amid rising housing prices and low wages.
And ABC News quoted Ann Olivia of the American Center for Budget and Policy Priorities as saying that more than 40 percent of homeless people work, but despite that they are still unable to afford housing.
In turn, US Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver said that the rate of homelessness in the United States was increasing even before the outbreak of the Corona virus, which worsened economic conditions.
In its annual report to Congress, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development indicated that the provision of shelter to the homeless fell 8 percent in 2021 compared to the previous year.
