Homelessness was on the rise before the pandemic. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in 2019, 568,000 people experience homelessness. In 2020, those figures rose, and legislators (both state and federal) introduced dozens of laws in an attempt to avert an eviction crisis. According to a Census Bureau survey, the problem is far from finished; 14 million persons are still behind on their rental payments. Kim supports Biden's plan to:
