Betteridge's law of headlines says there isn't.

And of course, the law holds true here. There is a crisis in some parts of the US but overall, the homeless rate has been relatively stable.
Even so it’d be nice to know if this number is acceptable at a given level of economic maturity as well as level of employable skills. If there is a skills gap or a mental health gap, are those comparable to similar economies or worse or maybe better?
Is there a reason for the richest country in history to have homelessness anywhere?
