State's Homeless Population Has Increased by 18 Percent Since 2010

According to a new report issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Hawaii's homeless population has increased by 18 percent in 2010.  This is a huge increase, especially considering that the United States as a whole has had their homeless population decreased by 9 percent during that same period.  Part of the increase in Hawaii's numbers has been attributed to improved efforts to find and tally the homeless, but residents and visitors alike have noticed a visible increase and are placing pressure on the government and nonprofit service providers to do something about this problem.
