According to the 2024 Council on Homelessness Annual Report, homelessness in Florida continues to present significant challenges across the state.
31,462 Floridians
This marks a 2.3% increase from 2023, highlighting the ongoing need for housing and support services.
Unsheltered Homeless Individuals:
16,979 – A 9.67% increase from the previous year
(Includes those living in cars, tents, streets, or places not meant for habitation)
Sheltered Homeless Individuals:
14,483 – A 5.18% decrease from 2023
(Includes individuals in emergency shelters or transitional housing)
Insufficient emergency shelter capacity
Rising rental prices far outpacing wage growth
Limited availability of affordable units for extremely low-income households
Hurricane recovery disruptions in storm-affected regions
Voluntary exits from shelters and service gaps
Decreased participation in some 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) counts
These numbers reflect more than statistics—they represent real people in need of stable housing, support services, and long-term solutions. At ASWEA Real Estate LLC, and through our nonprofit partners Veterans of Valor Home Initiative Inc. and Helping Homeless Families with Children, we aim to reduce these numbers through intentional real estate investment and community partnership.
Together, we are Building Wealth to Change Lives—one property, one family, one veteran at a time.
