The United States has:

770,000 homeless people

15,000,000 vacant homes

and

535 members of congress, who can't seem to find any solution to this problem.

@jetton In the UK:

382,000 homeless people.

1.5 million unoccupied dwellings.

Seems the US is not the only country who can't get their act together.

Repeat for Canada.

I'd guess Australia and NZ are probably similar.

@AlexanderVI @jetton Maybe there are other factors involved such as those who don't want to be housed, those with mental health challenges. The figures are interesting though.

@stevendrowe @AlexanderVI @jetton That's one of the points for a UBI.
If people had enough money to live, the drunks, drug addicts etc. would stand out and could be treated appropriately.
