Boston sees homelessness decline but data questioned

Boston’s homeless count declined to its lowest level in over a decade, with 3,674 people experiencing homelessness on the night of the January census, a 33 percent drop from the previous year. While officials credit expanded prevention efforts and investments in permanent housing, advocates suggest that changes in shelter policies and the migrant surge may have contributed to the reduction, especially among families. Experts note that the decline does not necessarily indicate fewer homeless families, as many are doubling up or avoiding shelter through prevention programs, and recent reforms have led to significant exits from the shelter system.
