From their source, the HUD Exchange, I found a more recent report. > On a single night in 2019, roughly 568,000 people were experiencing homelessness in the United States. > Nearly two-thirds (63%) were staying in sheltered locations—emergency shelters or transitional housing programs—and more than one-third (37%) were in unsheltered locations such as on the street, in abandoned buildings, or in other places not suitable for human habitation. The 2019 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress - Part 1: Point-in-Time Estimates of Homelessness in the U.S. - https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/5948/2019-ahar-part-1-pit-estimates-of-homelessness-in-the-us/ https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/5948/2019-ahar-part-1-... --- Personally, having lived among the homeless in the U.S. (for a period of a few long years in my youth), half a million seem like a low estimate.
