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. It’s becoming difficult to keep up with the influx. The issue is, unfortunately, a national and state one that needs to be addressed at those levels.
So it could be seen as a metric that measures the underperformance of the federal government and states, but not each individual city.
