- U.S. and California homelessness dip from record highs, HUD reports
The U.S. and California homelessness rates declined by 3% and 2.8% respectively in 2025 compared to 2024, according to HUD. However, nationwide homelessness has risen 26% since 2013, and the data excludes people 'doubling up' or in permanent housing programs. Local officials linked recent declines to federal immigration policy changes.
