IMO the number of homeless people is an indicator for how badly the local government is doing its job.
Oh wait, this news comes from America, so I guess you’re just not capitalizing that capitalism hard enough if you have problems like this. Taking care of people is like communism or something, right.

I have to disagree on your view of local government responsibility somewhat. Here in the US, at least, people experiencing homelessness often flee or are pushed out of rural and suburban areas and go to urban areas with access more resources, creating a disproportionate burden for cities.

So it could be seen as a metric that measures the underperformance of the federal government and states, but not each individual city.
