Leading Cause of Homelessness - Poverty
Our economy has put many of our most vulnerable citizens, our elderly, at risk of homelessness. Millions of seniors who have fought wars, paid taxes and mortgages only to find themselves victims of our flagging economy.
- 655,000 Homeless in USA
- 138,098 Homeless Seniors
The Simple Solution is More Income
Older Americans and Homelessness
Inflation has shattered many seniors' retirement plans and has severely cut into the incomes of millions of older Americans who have already retired. They are being affected at a time in their lives when it is virtually impossible to recover.
- 5 Million Seniors 65+ living below the poverty line
- 2.35 Million paying more than half of their income on rent
Sad But True. Homeless Older Americans. Alone and Frightened
In the U.S., approximately 39,700 people over age 64 were experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2023, according to the HUD 2023 Annual Homeless Assessment Report.
- Projections suggest this could nearly triple to around 106,000 by 2030 due to rising housing costs and limited fixed incomes.
