How Florida contributed to a national homelessness spike


Homelessness in the U.S. reached a record high last year, driven in part by an increase in unhoused Floridians.

More than half of all Americans experiencing homelessness — sheltered and unsheltered — were concentrated in four states including Florida.

That's according to an annual report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Meanwhile, the report shows the state had the second highest rate of unsheltered homeless people, behind California.
