Biden’s America: A Nation in Crisis
The stark reality of life under the Biden-Harris administration has come into full view with the release of shocking new homelessness statistics. A record-breaking 653,104 Americans now find themselves without stable housing, marking a disturbing 12% increase from the previous year. This surge in homelessness is a direct result of the administration’s misguided policies, which have left countless citizens struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
The Biden administration’s reckless spending and inflationary policies have driven up the cost of living, making it increasingly difficult for hardworking Americans to afford basic necessities. As pandemic-era protections phase out, more and more families are being pushed to the brink of homelessness. The situation is particularly dire in Democrat-run states, where unchecked illegal immigration and mismanagement of resources have exacerbated the crisis.
Important story: Homelessness in the USA was the highest ever on record in 2023.

A Crisis Spreading Across the Nation
The homelessness epidemic is no longer confined to a few urban areas; it has spread like wildfire across the country. A staggering 41 states have reported increases in their homeless populations, with New Hampshire, New Mexico, and New York experiencing the highest percentage jumps. This widespread growth in homelessness is a damning indictment of the Biden administration’s failure to address the root causes of the problem.
Even more troubling is the concentration of homelessness in our nation’s largest cities. Over half of the homeless population now resides in the 50 largest U.S. cities, with New York City and Los Angeles alone accounting for a quarter of the total. These Democrat-controlled urban centers have become breeding grounds for poverty and despair, their streets lined with tent cities and makeshift shelters.
No One Left Unscathed
The Biden administration’s failures have spared no one. Every ethnic group has seen an increase in homelessness, with the Asian community experiencing a shocking 64% rise. Hispanic and Latino populations have been hit particularly hard, seeing the largest increase in raw numbers. This surge in minority homelessness exposes the hypocrisy of an administration that claims to champion diversity and inclusion while leaving these communities to suffer.
Perhaps most heartbreaking is the plight of our nation’s children and veterans. In 2023, 111,620 children found themselves homeless, with over 10,000 living outside of shelters. The number of homeless veterans, a group that should be honored for their service, increased by 7%. These statistics are a national disgrace and a stark reminder of the Biden administration’s misplaced priorities.
A Call for Real Solutions
The time for empty promises and ineffective policies is over. The American people deserve real solutions to the homelessness crisis. We need targeted approaches that address the root causes of homelessness, including skyrocketing housing costs, unchecked illegal immigration, and the lack of mental health and substance abuse resources.
It’s clear that the current administration’s approach is not working. We need leaders who will prioritize American citizens over illegal immigrants, who will implement policies that encourage economic growth and job creation, and who will tackle the affordable housing shortage head-on. Only then can we hope to reverse the tide of homelessness and restore dignity to those who have been left behind by Biden’s failed policies.
As we move forward, it’s crucial that we hold our elected officials accountable for this crisis. The American people deserve better than record-breaking homelessness and economic instability.
