## What this funds

…The Budget does not request funding for the Continuum of Care, construction of new Permanent Supportive Housing, or Youth Homelessness Demonstration programs, nor the National Homeless Data Analysis Project. Over 770,000 adults and children are experiencing homelessness, as communities nationwide grapple with the deeply intertwined crises of homelessness, addiction, and untreated severe mental Program over the last fifteen years, more Americans are living and dying on our streets than ever before. Although the supply of Permanent Supportive Housing increased by 39.7 percent between 2013 and 2024, chronic homelessness increased by 76.8 percent during the same period. 3 Furthermore, between 2013 and 2024, the total number of homeless people increased by nearly 31 percent, marking the highest levels of homelessness recorded since HUD started tracking these figures.3 The failure to address homelessness follows an approximate 130 percent increase in Continuum of Care funding since 2013.4 Maintaining the status quo is unacceptable. 2021: A population-based analysis using coroner and health administrative data from Ontario, Canada 3 2024 AHAR: Part 1 - PIT Estimates of Homelessness in the U.S. PIT Estimates of Homelessness in the U.S.
