Homelessness in the U.S. is reaching record breaking levels. The unhoused population rose to 771,480 on a single night in January 2024 – the largest number recorded since the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development started collecting data in 2007.

Correspondent Dina Demetrius visits a Los Angeles County nonprofit shelter organization to learn about the challenges of providing mental health support to those in need.
