Arr, mateys! A recent scroll from the Department of Housing and Urban Plunderin' confirms what we've all been spyin' in our local ports: the scurvy dogs without a roof over their heads be hittin' record numbers. According to their report, the PIT count in 2023 marked the largest crew of landlubberly souls without a home since 2007. And blow me down! The number of homeless souls has gone up by a goodly 12% since last year. A mighty 40% of 'em...
Arrr, me hearties! Gather round and listen up! I've got some news from the Department of Housing and Urban Development that'll make ye roll in the aisles with laughter. Y'see, they prepared a report for Congress, and it confirms what we all know deep down inside: the number of landlubbers without a proper roof over their heads has reached a new bloody record! Aye, ye heard that right, me mateys!According to this here report, the 2023 “Point-in-Time (PIT) count” showed the highest number of souls experiencing homelessness on a single night since the start of this reporting business in 2007. Blimey, that's quite a feat! And if ye thought things couldn't get worse, well, ye were wrong! The number of poor souls wandering the streets with naught but the wind at their backs has grown by a whopping 12% since last year. That's right, me hearties, even more people joining our merry band of wanderers!
But wait, there's more! Brace yerselves, me mateys. It turns out that a full 40% of these unfortunate souls are dear old families with little ones. Can ye believe it? Families, me hearties! It breaks me heart to think of all those wee ones not knowin' where they'll lay their heads each night.
Now, I know what ye must be thinkin', me shipmates. What in the seven seas could be done about this mess? Well, that's a tough question, me hearties. But don't ye worry, for we can all do our part to help. Whether it be lending a hand to those in need or offering a kind word, every little bit counts. So, let's raise the anchor of compassion and set sail on a mission to make this world a better place for all!
