What is the concept of direct action? Action that seeks to achieve an end directly and by the most immediately effective means. Homelessness and vacant homes are a real concern across the U.S. The latest figures show that homelessness in the U.S. increased by 18% from 2023 to 2024. In terms of the number of people, this meant there were at least 770,662 people experiencing homelessness nationwide on any single night. These figures are made worse when viewing them alongside the number of vacant properties. In 2024, there were over 15.1 million empty homes in the the US - meaning that approximately 10% of the country's housing inventory are vacant.
