"Arrr! The landlubbers countin’ the scallywags without a roof be up by 18%! Blimey, all hands on deck!"

Arrr, matey! This year, the scallywag’s plight be worse than a shipwreck! A record 771,480 souls be adrift on land, an 18% rise! Blame the tide of wayward families, empty treasure chests, and storms from Davy Jones’ locker, say the landlubbers at the Housing Bureau!
Arrr mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn ‘bout the sorry state of our landlubbers, for the seas of misfortune be sweepin' more souls into the abyss of homelessness this year! Aye, in the year of our Lord 2024, a staggering 771,480 scallywags found themselves without a roof over their heads, markin' an 18% jump from the year prior! Blimey, that be a record high, worse than a pirate ship sunk by a cannonball!What brings this woe upon us, ye ask? Well, it be the mighty tide of migrant families wash’n ashore, lookin’ for a place to rest their weary bones. Add to that the cursed lack of affordable treasure—err, housing—and a sprinkle of natural disasters as pesky as a kraken on a ship’s hull, and ye got yerself a recipe for disaster, I tell ye!
The Department of Housing and Urban Development be raisin’ the alarm, shoutin’ from the crow's nest that we need to turn the ship around before we all be paddlin' in the same leaky boat! So, ‘tis time for us to hoist the sails of compassion and find a way to help our fellow sailors, lest our beloved shores be overrun by the lost souls of the sea! Yarrr!
