A federal report says the number of homeless people has declined slightly in Wisconsin.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report to Congress comes from a one-night count by local homeless advocacy agencies.

Wisconsin's report says the number of homeless people declined nearly 1 percent this year compared to 2013 and dropped about 4½ percent from 2010.

The State Journal reports there were 6,055 homeless people in Wisconsin during the January count. A brighter spot might be the number of homeless veterans in Wisconsin, which declined 10½ percent from last year.
