In this statement, Funders Together for Housing Justice reflects on the newly released 2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) count and what it reveals about the state of homelessness in the United States. While the data show a modest decline in homelessness nationally, the organization cautions against treating the PIT count as a complete measure of housing instability. Instead, Funders Together argues that the findings reinforce a broader lesson: investments in housing, prevention, and support services work, and philanthropy has an important role to play in expanding those solutions rather than retreating from them.
