Description
House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services Hearing - This hearing is on an extremely important subject: the national homelessness crisis. Today, there are over a half million people experiencing homelessness nationwide, and nearly 160,000 of them are children, and nearly 38,000 are veterans whom we have failed to support after their service to our Nation. The number of people experiencing chronic homelessness nationwide increased between 2017 and 2018. In Los Angeles County, there are over 50,000 people experiencing homelessness, nearly 5,000 of whom are children and over 3,800 of whom are veterans. In the richest country in the world, it is simply unacceptable that we have people living in the streets. This is a crisis that requires action.
Homelessness is an enormous problem in this country. Nearly one in seven people experiencing homelessness live in New York City, which I am privileged to represent. And it is a problem that demands immediate solutions. Roughly 78,000 people in New York City are homeless, yet New York City has one of the lowest rates of people who are homeless but are not sheltered; only 5 percent of the 78,000 do not have a sheltered home.
This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
