Blacklock’s- National Homeless Count Up 12%
“Key findings include the estimated number of shelter users in 2023 (118,329) increased by 12 percent in comparison to 2022 (105,655) and are slightly below 2019 levels (118,759),” said the October 4 note Homeless Data Snapshot: The National Shelter Study 2023 Update. “There was also an increase in the estimated number of shelter users experiencing chronic homelessness from 31,476 to 32,660.”
It’s amazing what half a billion dollars can do!
Homelessness … a growth industry for the bureaucratic State. The homeless own nothing, and they’re mostly happy while talking to themselves.
Mission accomplished
People looking for a safey net when their personal circumstances crash, need to look to family and friends if they seriously hope to do better. Hoping for the Government to improve your circumstances will leave you wanting and at continued risk.
“Home is where the heart is”
If only we didn’t have 5 million people that shouldn’t be here….
And if only we stopped sending tens of billions per year out of country.
They’re all mentally ill drug addicts, good only to be bulldozed.

Yeah, No.
Those illegals must sleep Somewhere, in the beds of the Homeless?
Could be global warming….
I know a few homeless guys (schizophrenics) and help them a bit. (I live in Chinatown). There has always been homeless guys sleeping in our alley, even in the winter, since I moved here. From observation none of the guys that slept out back or new guys could take the cold this year.
They disappeared.
Now that it’s getting a little warmer they’re showing themselves but in reduced numbers.
We also give money to homeless to sleep inside and get registered so that probably has the most to do with increasing the recorded users.
