Well how's this, California has just under 130,000. New York some 94,000, and Florida close to 33,000. So right there it with just a little help from any of the other states proves Foxes and more importantly your little story as fake!
Phil
And you are proud of the fact that by your âresearchâ CA has 130,000 on the streets?
But since you challenged us to look up the stats- in your normal confrontational manner that quickly turned this thread from homeless in CA to Trump bashing - I did.
How about from the Annual Report on Homeless to Congress by HUD? That good enough or you have some way to Trump bash that, too?
Seems you can be given credit in that the report specifically says âHalf of all people experiencing homelessness came from five states: California, New York, Florida, Texas and Washington.â
That still points to the fact CA has a huge homeless problem. 130,000 by your count, is not good.
Furthermore, âTwo in three people experiencing homelessness were adults not living with children,â
So these are largely not single mothers down on their luck.
So Chief, want to tell this report is false too? Want to tell me your major cities donât have homeless issues? Guess what? Other states are encouraging homeless to go West âbecause the have the resourcesâ.
Those âresourcesâ will attract the homeless, so expect your numbers to grow, your taxes to go up and more areas of your cities will remind you of the Third World.
What else do we know about a large % of your homeless? They have mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems, or all of the above. These are your chronic homeless crapping in your streets making San Fran resemble Bogata and LA worse.
So, Mr In Your Face Leftist Trump hater, you could have joined in this conversation by simply stating âThat headline is misleading, that included stats from 5 statesâ
But no, immediately we are subjected to âTrump=bad man, FOX= bad news and everyone not a Left Coast screaming liberal Progress = dimwitâ
Guess what? You get nasty replies. You earned each and every one because you cannot resist poking the hornets nest. Poke on, but expect the stings.

ON A SINGLE NIGHT IN January, roughly 553,000 people in the United States experienced homelessness, according an annual report released this week by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The number increased for the second year in a row, and was up 0.3 percent from 2017. An uptick in the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness â defined as spending the night on the streets, in abandoned buildings, or in other places not suitable for human habitation â was the sole cause for the bump, according to the Dec. 15 report. The estimates come from a "point-in-time" count of people experiencing homelessness in the last 10 days of January.
Despite the modest increase, the number of people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. has plunged almost 15 percent since 2007.
Two in three people experiencing homelessness were adults not living with children, while the remaining third experienced homelessness as part of a family.
The severity of homelessness fluctuates greatly by state. Half of all people experiencing homelessness came from five states: California, New York, Florida, Texas and Washington.

California and New York, home to the two most populous U.S. cities, had the highest number of people experiencing homelessness. California also had the highest rate of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness, at nearly 69 percent.
States in the West struggle with homelessness: California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii and Alaska had rates of homelessness exceeding 50 people per every 10,000. On the East Coast, just New York and Massachusetts had rates exceeding 50 people per 10,000.

The homeless population has swelled in several states. Four states saw the number of people experiencing homelessness in 2018 increase by more than 5 percent compared to 2017. In Washington and Texas, rates rose by 5.6 and 7.5 percent, respectively. Arizona and Massachusetts saw bigger bumps: The number of people experiencing homelessness rose 10.3 percent in Arizona, and 14.2 percent in Massachusetts.
