  That was from December 2019:[1] > Based on currently available numbers, there are about 31 vacant housing units for every homeless person in the U.S. The most recent numbers are 15,185,000 vacant housing units (Q3 2021)[2] and 580,466 homeless people (January 2020),[3] which makes the current ratio 26.2 vacant housing units per homeless person in the U.S. If you want to go by year-round vacant housing units, that number drops to 11,671,000, and the ratio becomes 20.1. For year-round vacant housing units held off-market, it's 7,008,000 and 12.1. Though the numbers are different, it's pretty clear that there are many times more vacant homes than homeless people in the U.S. [1] https://checkyourfact.com/2019/12/24/fact-check-633000-homeless-million-vacant-homes/ https://checkyourfact.com/2019/12/24/fact-check-633000-homel...
