US Homelessness Surges 18% Amid Affordable Housing Crisis & Natural Disasters | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

US homelessness has jumped to another record high. Recently released data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development reveals the number is up 18% from last year's count, which had also jumped from the previous year. The main reasons for the rise of homelessness include lack of affordable housing, a dramatic increase in migrants, and devastating natural disasters forcing people from their homes. George Mullen, Cofounder of Sunbreak Ranch, a homeless triage center based in San Diego, California, joins to share whether he is at all surprised about this big increase in homelessness. Family homelessness was also among one of the concerning trends, up nearly 40% due in part to the arrival of many migrant families. Mullen is in California, which has the largest homeless population in the US. He explains whether this is a trend he is seeing as well in the Golden State. Mullen discusses how he thinks we got to where we are right now at this level. He tells us what he thinks the solution is and how his organization hopes to address it. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
