      abstract = {Between January 2022 and January 2023, the estimated  homelessness population in the United States increased 12%  from 582,462 to 653,104. This is not only the largest  increase in US homelessness on record in the new  millennium, it also brings the highest estimated homeless  population since 2007. In this work, we disaggregate this  increase to the local level to discover the subpopulation  trends it is composed of. Namely, this spike is composed of  an influx of South and Central American asylum seekers  arriving in New York City, Chicago, and Denver and the  continuation of a 7 year growth trend in unsheltered  homelessness along the West Coast. We recommend the clinics  to expedite the work permit and moving process for asylum  seekers, coordinated landlord outreach and moving events,  and geographic redistribution of asylum seekers to counties  with more shelter capacity.},
