WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Homelessness in the United States is on the decline, data newly released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development indicate, with the sharpest drop seen among veterans in the past five years.
The report, released Thursday, announced an 11 percent decrease in the overall homeless population and 26 percent decrease in unsheltered population since the launch of President Barack Obama's "Opening Doors" initiative in 2010.
