I think we should shine the spotlight on the number of homeless. Instead of the weather/temperature and the rise and fall of some key stocks at the end of a news broadcast, we should also report the number of homeless by region and whether it has gone up or down. It certainly feels like it should be more important.

That's a number that's both hard to accurately count just because of the population you're trying to measure and unlikely to change very often because of the cost and difficulty of measuring it so I'm not really sure it'd really have the effect you're looking for.
