While Switzerland is one of the countries with lower amount of homeless people, most of EU is much lower than - say - the UK (in Brexit times this might be interesting), but this kind of numbers may well (and actually are) very debatable because of different ways the "homelessness" is calculated. Also you have to consider how in continental Europe there is an ethnic group, the Romanis (more commonly called gypsies) that traditionally move across the various countries and that may be counted one way (homeless) or the other (or not counted at all). And comparng a single smallish country with the whole US makes little sense anyway, usually homelessness (like in this case talking of Seattle) is concentrated in very limited areas (usually in or around large cities) where the rest of the country is unaffected.
