Thursday night, thousands of North Texans assisted the federal government with its annual nationwide count of people experiencing homelessness.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Regional Administrator Candace Valenzuela says in North Texas, there's a lot of people in need.
"We're seeing homelessness increase at a rapid clip because the cost of living is far exceeding wages, it's far exceeding salaries for most folks," Valenzuela said."They're just not making it." "In my own personal situation I was the daughter of a single mother and a veteran and veteran women are 50% more likely to be homeless than all women," she said.
"That really helps us inform and continue to inform what strategies need to be in place," Sarah Kahn said.
