If you for example the full SAMSHA report, it starts out with the overall population of homeless at any given point in time, which shows figures of 35-40% with mental health or substance abuse as shown in your link above. But farther down in the full SAMSHA report, where they speak specifically of the chronically homeless, that's where the number jumps up to 70-80%
