Carson is working the numbers here and trying to take credit for other people's work. A few tweets follow.
First, as you can see from the chart, most of the drop in homelessness among veterans came during the Obama administration. 
Second, Carson says veteran homelessness is down 5.4% from last year. Technically, that's true. But last year, under Trump, veteran homelessness ROSE for the first time in seven years. So it's actually only down 4.0% from the beginning of the Trump administration.
In real numbers, the Obama administration took the number of homeless veterans from 74,087 to 39,471--a drop of 34,616 in seven years.
Put another way, around 5,000 per year.

The Trump administration has taken it from 39,471 to 37,878--a drop of 1,593 in two years.
Put another way, around 800 per year.
Put another way, around 800 per year.
So under Obama, we were housing around 5,000 homeless veterans per year. Under Trump, we're housing around 800 homeless veterans per year.
This is not a victory for @SecretaryCarson. It's something he should have to answer for.

Last thing: During the Obama administration, I worked at both VA and HUD. So I am familiar with this topic.
