I don't know. They haven't finished the homeless count for 2022. I suspect they are scared to announce it. People are probably dropping off from housed to unhoused at unprecidented levels. I wouldn't say our lives are way to good right now.


Very, very few homeless people are homeless because they simply can't afford housing.


To see why you're wrong, all you have to do is look up a survey:

From Maricopa county (Phoenix): https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/why-is-...

That's 2,239 people (16 percent of all surveyed shelter-visitors) that cited "economic reasons" as the cause of their homelessness, and there's a separate entry for unemployment.
