Some things I learned about Homelessness

 

#89 October 23: David and I have had several conversations about the Homeless population both in Washington state where we just visited and in NC.  He found an interesting article with statistics.  I would have thought that the top 10 states for homelessness would have been warm states.  Not so.  Yes, California tops the list and Nevada (#9), and Hawaii (#4) are there, but Vermont and Oregon are 2 and 3, along with NY, Maine, Alaska (#8), and Delaware.   This is the ranking in percentage per 10,000 residents in 2022.  And NC ranks 33rd with 9 per 10,000 and SC is 49^th!  I’m not sure what to make of this.  In a country as rich as ours, we should be able to do better.  11/30
