That headline number is garbage. It’s 550,000 people at any given time.

It's certainly not garbage, read it again: people who have "experienced homelessness at some point in their lives".

Yes and that “experienced homelessness” figure includes people who moved in with friends, family, or relatives. The headline number is garbage.

If I was homeless I'd certainly try to move in with friends or relatives.

Not garbage :)
