Summary

Homelessness among U.S. seniors is rising sharply, with housing costs and health issues creating dire conditions.

Kim Hilton, a 68-year-old Montanan, became homeless in 2022 after losing his home due to unaffordable rent. Living in his truck, his health deteriorated, leading to the loss of both legs.

Researchers predict senior homelessness will triple by 2030, overwhelming shelters.

Programs like Medicaid-funded housing and specialized shelters offer some relief, but experts stress the need for more accessible affordable housing to prevent crises like Hilton’s.
