In ten years, incidence of chronic homelessness in Utah went from 1,932 to 178.
Solving 91% of homelessness is a fantastic achievement, even if the remaining 9% needs further work.
- vkou 4y agoThey didn't solve it by 90%, they lied with statistics, and compared exponential-growth forecasted counts with point-in time counts. The reduction was closer to 60%, and in the past few years, they've stopped investing in the program. It's been a good thing, but without ongoing effort and investment it will regress back to the mean.
