Homelessness Numbers in 2006 Show Progress

Between 2005 and 2006, there was a drop in chronic homelessness in the US of more than 11% (According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development).

"HUD says people are chronically homeless if they have been continuously living on the streets for a year or more, or if they have been homeless at least four times in the past three years. They also have to have a disability, often mental illness or substance abuse."
