翻译下这段吧
On a single night every January, volunteers all over America search parks, woodlands, subway tunnels and pavements to count those without shelter. It is part of the annual count mandated by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. The point-in-time count results were released, at last, on December 15th. Roughly 650,000 people were homeless, a 12 % increase over the year before. The count is the highest since reporting began in 2007. The snapshot is useful for spotting trends and attracting federal funding. Most experts agree it is an undercount and often out of date.
每年一月的一个晚上，美国各地的志愿者都会搜索公园、林地、地铁隧道和人行道，统计那些无家可归者的人数。这是联邦住房与城市发展部(Department of Housing and Urban Development)规定的年度统计工作的一部分。这份时间点计数结果终于在12月15日公布了。今年，无家可归者人数大约为65万，比前一年增加了12%，这是自2007年开始报告以来的最高数字。该简要情况有助于发现无家可归者的变化趋势和吸引他们申请联邦资金。大多数专家认为，这一数据统计不足，而且往往已经过时。
