How Many People Are Homeless in the US?

In the past several months, I've become increasingly aware of the homeless problem in our city as I capture images of it. Like most Americans, I've come to believe that it's a fact of life; it has existed so long that we've accepted it as part of our reality.

Curious about the seriousness of the problem, I did a Google search and here are 3 statistics that came up:

On any given night in America, anywhere from 700,000 to 2 million people are homeless, according to estimates of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.

Single men comprise 44 % , single women 13%, families with children 36%, and unaccompanied minors 7 %.

The homeless population is about 50 % African-American, 35 % white, 12 % Hispanic, 2 % Native American, and 1 % Asian. (Source)
