FACT CHECK: Are There More Than 633,000 Homeless People And 13.9 Million Vacant Homes In The US?
Verdict: False
The most recent data from the National Alliance to End Homelessness puts the number of homeless people at 552,830. There are more than 17 million vacant homes across the U.S., according to the Census Bureau.
Yeah, there's not 20 empty homes for every homeless person, there's 30! Take that, unfactual Russian liars!
The article claims that using data from 2018 would be false, while using data from 2019 would be true... Yet it’s 2021.
The article is dated in 2019. Do you not know how to read an article?
Clearly they should issue annual corrections on the off chance that one year the original claim is once again true.
The article claims that a Facebook infographic is false because it isn’t updated with the latest statistics yearly. However, this article is not updated yearly either. By the article’s own standard, the article is false.
Lmao, good point.
This is an offshoot of The Daily Caller, so the fact that they're using absolute bullshit reasoning to declare false a meme about homelessness (and its obvious solution!) is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east.
But yeah if that's the context of the comment then oops I goofed here.
