HUD, along with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), have released initial results from HUD's 2022 Point-in-Time (PIT) count The data point to an 11 decline in homelessness among veterans between 2020 and 2022, the largest drop in homelessness for veterans in over five years. This drop in veteran homelessness coincides with the historic resources in the American Rescue Plan and a return to evidence-based, Housing First practices. The results reflect a two-year interval due to disruptions in the 2021 PIT count due to the corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic. Compared to 2010, when the Obama-Biden Administration first set a national goal to end veteran homelessness, homelessness among veterans has declined by 55. These data reflect the veteran-specific results from the 2022 PIT count, which are being shared in advance of a report that will be released later this year and will include the full results on homelessness overall and sub-populations.
