If we take these figures as "as accurate as you can get" (which by the way will be immediately discounted by so many who comment because, well, they don't trust any figures given out by the government) this report shows that the numbers are starting to stabilize. The declines are great on the neighbor islands, but remember your dealing with a much smaller population there than on Oahu. So a concerted effort to move people out of homeless and into housing is a much easier effort once policy makers put their mind to it. 

For Oahu, the population of homeless there will always be a bigger number than the combined numbers on the other islands - its the capital city and where over 70% of the population of the state lives and has the largest ports (boat and air). 

As mentioned a couple of years ago when this effort started, solving the issue of homeless will take time. Unless everyone just thinks that either shipping them out or moving them around continually solves a problem.
