(1)The number of people in the United States without a home is down from one year ago. The total is nearly 550,000, about 3 percent lower than 2015. The number comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The information comes after the United Nations (UN) reported that homelessness is “spreading” worldwide. The report called on governments around the world to end homelessness by 2030. The UN last produced a study on the world’s homeless population 11 years ago. At that time, it estimated the total at 100 million. But the UN said the number is likely much higher today. It estimates 100 million children alone are now without a home.
Recently, UNICEF, the UN’s children’s agency, warned about children living in and around the city of Mosul, Iraq. It said tens of thousands of them could become homeless as Iraqi forces continue to work to take back Mosul from Islamic State militants. In its report, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development measured homelessness on a single night. (2)In January, 2016, thousands of volunteers spread out across the country. They counted a total of 549,922 homeless individuals. That is down 14 percent from six years ago.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1.What’s the news report mainly about?
2.What’s the total number of homeless persons in 2016 according to volunteers?
