771K people isn't a small number. 0.23% isn't a small number when it comes to homelessness. This also doesn't consider people who are housed but are overcrowded or living in otherwise very poor environments.

You also ignore that it's a rapidly growing problem.

Comparing it to DUI numbers doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Disagree that it’s a growing problem, there are lots of states dealing with it correctly. Look at the article, for example.
And there are plenty of states that put their homeless on a bus to some other state to deal with.

That's not doing anything about the root causes.

I agree, and I want humane solutions for people who go through this.
