Poverty and homelessness are on the rise in the United States. In 2024, over 771,000 people were counted homeless across the nation. That’s an 18% increase year over year. In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with all of our technology, natural resources, and freedoms, there shouldn’t be a single person without a home. Poverty and homelessness plague the United States as it does other countries around the world. It is a clear sign of sin, suffering, and abuse, as people struggle to survive in unthinkable places.
