HUD Releases 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report, Worst in Years, Equal Justice Files Suit to Protect Homeless, Too Few Manufactured Homes; plus MHVille REITs, Stocks Update

HUD has issued a press release on homelessness, shown below. The nonprofit Equal Justice has launched a lawsuit in response to homelessness. HUD is the primary regulator of HUD Code manufactured homes. Homelessness is caused in large part due to a lack of affordable housing. As a footnote to their release, HUD states that: “HUD’s mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.”  From the HUD website one can read: “[President Lyndon Banes] Johnson’s War on Poverty, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was established as a Cabinet Department by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3532-3537), effective November 9, 1965. It consolidated a number of other older federal agencies.” 57 Years later, properly understood, the case can be made from their own statements that HUD’s new report reveals that HUD is apparently not doing its claimed job well. The Greek – Poet Aeschylus said that “Memory is the mother of all wisdom.” The Greek thinker is said to have lived circa 525 BC – 456 BC, so that insight is some 2500 years ago. “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake,” said Napoleon Bonaparte, both references are according to BrainyQuotes. Connecting the dots between various facts is a gift born of memory, experience, expertise, and allows the better informed on a topic to illumine the minds of those who are befuddled or perhaps may even largely accept the robust BS machine that is operating in America and manufactured housing today.

HUD Releases 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report

Biden-Harris Administration investments and actions prevented a spike in homelessness overall, and led to decreases in homelessness among Veterans, families, and youth

Homelessness rose for individuals, people with disabilities who experience long-term homelessness, and people in unsheltered settings

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today released its 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) Part 1 to Congress. The report found 582,462 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2022. COVID-19 and its economic impacts could have led to significant increases in homelessness, however investments, partnerships and government agency outreach resulted in only a .3% increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness from 2020 to 2022. The Biden-Harris Administration intends to not only stop but reverse the post-2016 trend of rising homelessness and reduce it 25% by 2025, as stated in All In, The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which was released today by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. Compared with 2020, homelessness among people in shelters declined by 1.6%, while homelessness among people in unsheltered settings increased by 3.4%. The rate of overall homelessness due in large part to a robust federal response that prevented evictions through Emergency Rental Assistance distributed to more than three million households, expanded resources for vulnerable families through the Child Tax Credit and provided other financial transfers through stimulus.

Homelessness among certain sub-populations decreased. The number of veterans experiencing homelessness decreased by 11%, contributing to a 55% decrease since 2010. Between 2020 and 2022, the number of families with children experiencing homelessness declined by 6% between 2020 and 2022, marking a total decline of 36% since 2010. The number of people under the age of 25 who experienced homelessness on their own as “unaccompanied youth” also declined by 12%.

“HUD and everyone in the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every person has a safe, stable place to call home. Data shows that homelessness remains a national crisis, but it also shows that the historic investments this Administration has made to address this issue, can work,” said U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. “The Biden-Harris Administration is working to significantly reduce homelessness across the country and combat the racial and ethnic disparities resulting from systemic racism.”

While the overall number of people experiencing homelessness in 2022 increased slightly compared with 2020, it rose significantly for individuals, people with disabilities who experience long-term homelessness, and people in unsheltered settings. Single individuals not part of family households continue to represent the largest group of people experiencing homelessness. Homelessness among single individuals increased by 3.1%. The number of chronically homeless individuals (individuals with disabilities experiencing homelessness for long periods of time) increased by 16% between 2020 and 2022.

People who identify as Black, African American, or African, as well as indigenous people (including Native Americans and Pacific Islanders) continue to be overrepresented among those experiencing homelessness.

The AHAR data reflects a single-night snapshot of homelessness in America in early 2022 and the first complete single-night count of people experiencing homelessness since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows that overall homelessness remained relatively unchanged despite the economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

These results, however, do not reflect the full impact of the Biden-Harris Administration’s American Rescue Plan and HUD’s House America initiative, which largely took place during calendar year 2022. For instance, the majority of HUD’s Emergency Housing Voucher program lease-ups took place during 2022. Also, during 2022, HUD released a first-of-its-kind Initiative to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness, which HUD plans to award in early 2023.

HUD releases the AHAR to Congress in two parts. Part 1 provides Point-in-Time (PIT) estimates, offering a snapshot of homelessness on a single night. The one-night counts are conducted during the last 10 days of January each year, with extensions approved on a case-by-case basis. The PIT counts also provide an estimate of the number of people experiencing homelessness within particular homeless populations such as individuals with chronic patterns of homelessness and veterans experiencing homelessness.

The 2022 report provides comparisons with 2020 data because many communities were considerably impacted by COVID-19 during the 2021 PIT count and did not conduct an unsheltered PIT count. The 2020 PIT estimate included both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness. In addition, the report compares 2022 data to data from 2010, the first year that the federal government set a national goal to end homelessness.

More information can be found via the 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report Part 1 by the numbers fact sheet and summary.

Part II: From Equal Justice Under Law is the following press release to MHProNews on 12.21.2022.

New Lawsuit Challenges Criminalization of Homelessness in Missouri

St. Louis, Missouri – Homelessness in Missouri will become a criminal offense beginning January 1.  Today, a critical lawsuit was filed challenging this criminalization of homelessness. Missouri recently passed a law, House Bill 1606, which will make it a crime for people to sleep or camp on public land.  The lawsuit is seeking expedited relief in federal court to prevent this law from taking effect on January 1—if not stopped, hundreds of people experiencing homelessness will be at risk of unjust criminal prosecution.

Instead of providing much-needed housing to those who are struggling, the State of Missouri is punishing people for their poverty. Not only is this cruel—it’s unconstitutional.  The statute allows for one warning before an individual is cited for a violation; however, a single warning will prove futile if there is no safe alternative to sleep the next day.  Assuming that each day of sleeping outside is a separate violation, sleeping outside for just a week could subject a homeless defendant to 105 days in jail and $5,250 in fines.

Ronald Benson, a named Plaintiff in this case, is a disabled veteran who served 12 years in the Army Airborne.  He is currently unemployed and sleeps on public land when shelters have proven overcrowded or unsafe.  Mr. Benson is concerned that criminal prosecution for sleeping outside will affect his future ability to enroll in rental assistance programs and other public benefits, and that it will affect prospective employment opportunities.  Given the lack of free, reliable, and safe housing options, Plaintiffs like Mr. Benson often have no choice but to sleep or camp on public land, and for this, they may be prosecuted, unless the law is stopped.

Equal Justice Under Law Under Law, along with local partners at The Cook Group, represent

Plaintiffs in this case.  Phil Telfeyan, Executive Director of Equal Justice Under Law, states, “When it comes to addressing the problem of homelessness, criminalization is not compassion; it is cruelty.  In this instance, criminalization violates the constitutional rights of people who have no safe alternatives for housing.”

###

Equal Justice Under Law is a legal nonprofit providing pro-bono legal services to those most in need. The organization is dedicated to achieving equality in our justice system by litigating against wealth-based discrimination. Since its founding in 2014, Equal Justice Under Law has filed 43 lawsuits in 17 states targeted at ending unequal practices in our justice system.

Part III: Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary

According to some sources, homelessness is now at its highest level in 8 years. That means it was at a prior high during the Obama-Biden administration, dropped during the Trump Administration, and despite the record spending under often questioned Biden-Harris regime, it has risen once more. Despite the so-called Biden Housing plan that mentioned manufactured housing more than a dozen times, CNN and the National Association of Realtors both recently reported that first time home buyers had dropped to record lows.  Young families and individuals have been back in with parents in record numbers, because of the soaring cost of housing.

Why hasn’t the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) filed suit against local jurisdictions that are failing to honor the enhanced preemption provisions mandated by the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA)?

Why did MHI state affiliates fail to take up the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform’s offer a few years ago to team up with them to file suit in an appropriate state-local case?

HUD has publicly thumbed their nose at the “enhanced preemption” provision of the MHIA, despite the fact that Democrats have made this case for enforcement of this power Congress gave to HUD. The third pull quote below was made to a prior Republican Administration not long after the MHIA was enacted.

The lack of enforcement of the MHIA contributes to the pressures being felt by manufactured home community residents, according to the late Bob Van Cleef, a manufactured home owner and volunteer resident-leader.
