In the 2023, homelessness in US has reached new heights.

The number of people without a place to call home increased by an 12%, reaching a staggering total of 653,104 individuals.

It was "the sharpest increase and largest unhoused population since the federal government began tallying totals in 2007".

This grim reality is further exacerbated by "growing rates of poverty and food insecurity".

But look at how great the stocks are doing!
