The number of Chicagoans staying in city shelters, on city streets or temporarily living “doubled-up” with friends or relatives rose approximately 12%, according to a new report from the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness.

Approximately 76,375 people in Chicago experienced homelessness during 2022, according to the group’s 2024 report, which relies on the most recent available data.

The report does not include the approximately 52,000 migrants who made their way to Chicago from the southern border after requesting asylum.
