    Austin, TX, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new report from the
    Cicero Institute finds that sex offenders make up a significant proportion
    of the unsheltered homeless population across many U.S. states. In eight states, over half of the unsheltered homeless population are registered
    sex offenders. The research calls for new policy approaches that
    acknowledge this reality without compromising public safety.

    "Understanding who is homeless is critical to crafting effective, humane policies," said Devon Kurtz, the report’s author. "Ignoring this
    subpopulation only perpetuates the crisis."

    Key findings include:

    In 32 states, more than 10% of the unsheltered homeless are registered sex offenders.

    Sex offenders face unique barriers to housing that current homelessness interventions often overlook.

    States like Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Delaware show especially high concentrations.

    The full report is available at the Cicero Institute website.

    Top Stats

    In 8 states, over 50% of unsheltered homeless individuals are registered
    sex offenders.

    National average: ~13% when including those with "unknown addresses."
    Key Points

    Public Safety: High concentrations of homeless sex offenders create risks
    in encampments.

    Policy Gap: Current homelessness programs often exclude this population, worsening the crisis.

    Data-Driven Solutions: Effective homelessness reform must consider the
    real demographics on the street.

    The Cicero Institute designs and promotes public policies that solve some
    of America’s toughest challenges. Our homelessness work is focused on actionable research that empowers lawmakers to build healthier, safer communities.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
