In San Francisco, a 1% increase in homeless led to a 72% increase in complaints.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 28: People are gathered at a homeless encampment in the Skid Row community on September 28, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. State and local lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, are seeking to overturn lower court decisions which currently block their power to clear encampments with unhoused people. Dozens of leaders, many from Western states including California, have turned to the Supreme Court to overturn the rulings.
"Homelessness has become more obvious without necessarily becoming worse," Dr. Margot Kushel, M.D., director of the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative at USCF and principal investigator of the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness, told ABC News. "It's much more in your face than it was before."The national landscape of homelessness is highly variable across the United States, according to data from theproduced by the U.S.
There has not been a significant overall rise in the number of people experiencing homelessness over the past decade, according to a new ABC News analysis, though there has been a steady increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness with severe mental illness.Despite overall stability in the population of people experiencing homelessness, people in some cities are more likely to raise concerns about homelessness.
Those calls weren't associated with any crime, Herring said. Based on how the city of San Francisco records 911 and 311 calls, they were calls just expressing "homeless concern.""While annual HUD statistics are informative, the alarming increase in civic complaints in cities like San Francisco, not linked to criminal activities but rather societal concerns, accentuates the heightened visibility of this challenge," John Brownstein, Ph.D.
"When I give talks, I say, 'who has more homeless people — New York, or Los Angeles," she says. "Every single person says California or Los Angeles; it seems so obvious to them." In addition to more people being unsheltered, more people experiencing homeless are chronically homeless — defined by HUD as continually homeless for a year or more, or with four episodes of homelessness in the past three years.ABC analysis showed 12,768 people were experiencing chronic homelessness in 2022 which is a 47.4% increase in the past five years and a 27.9% increase compared to a decade ago.
