(Washington, DC) -- A newly released federal report shows North Dakotans make up just over one-percent of the overall homeless population nationwide.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development released its 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report Tuesday.

The assessment is based on a count of those experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2022.

The report found that just over half of North Dakota's homeless population was in shelters on the day of the count.
