Immigrants who entered the United States unlawfully contributed to the highest level of homelessness on record, with the number topping 770,000 in 2024, according to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The department's report, released in December, measured the number of homeless people in the U.S. at 771,480 in January 2024. This marked an 18% increase from the 653,104 individuals experiencing homelessness in the U.S. in 2023 and the largest since HUD began tracking homelessness in 2005.
