According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), there were roughly 554,000 homeless people living somewhere in the United States on a given night last year. A total of 193,000 of those people were "unsheltered," meaning that they were living on the streets and had no access to emergency shelters, transitional housing, or Safe Havens. Despite a booming stock market and strong economic growth, a large swathe of America is still struggling to make ends meet.

We've created the following infographic to summarize the data from HUD's most recent assessment of homelessness in the U.S. More affordable housing options are needed to combat the homeless crisis, particularly in states on the West Coast.
