ST. LOUIS — For the first time in nearly a decade, the number of homeless Americans is growing.
Overnight Wednesday, new numbers were released which revealed more than half-a-million people are homeless. The increase is being blamed on fast-rising rent prices in California, Oregon and Washington. But, in most parts of the country, the homeless count is going down.
5 On Your Side wants to help those in need find shelter. If you’re in need, you can contact the City of St. Louis on 1520 Market Street, right behind Scottrade Center. You can also call (314) 657-1704.
