We DO have a massive underhousing problem that you should be considering, not just homelessness. The only reason many tens of thousands of additional people aren't homeless is that they are depending on the generosity and charity of people they know to give them a place to live.
We have more of a massive over housing problem than we do an underhousing problem.
There are far more couples living in 3+ bedroom houses than 4 person families living in 2 bedroom units.
The problem is distribution and pricing, not total units.
