   "Homeless Population Grows, Putting U.S. on Track for Another Record"   
      
   "The number of homeless people in the U.S. continues to grow, putting   
   the country on pace to hit yet another record high this year.   
      
   Counts from encampments, streets, and shelters are largely higher than   
   they were in 2023, according to preliminary data collected and reviewed   
   by The Wall Street Journal.   
      
   The numbers come from more than 250 homeless-service organizations   
   covering cities, metro areas and vast rural areas. They are meant to   
   reflect homelessness as it existed on a single night early this year.   
   The Journal’s count includes about 550,000 homeless people so far, up   
   about 10% from what these places reported last year.   
      
      
   The trend thus far means the U.S. is likely to top the roughly 653,000   
   homeless people estimated in 2023—the highest number since the   
   government started reporting comparable data in 2007."
