It describes how homelessness increased for the fourth year, with more people living without shelter than before. Most homeless individuals are adults over age 24, and many are African American or Hispanic/Latino. The report highlights issues like chronic homelessness and unaccompanied youth facing homelessness alone. California has the highest number of homeless people, while New York shelters most of its homeless population indoors compared to other states.
