This article does not say anything about whether more baby boomers are becoming homeless. It says that the fraction of homeless over 60 has increased dramatically. But exactly the same number of people who were homeless in their 40s twenty years ago could still be homeless now, and if the homeless people in their 60s then have mostly died, a larger fraction of homeless people could be their 60s. Perhaps the fraction of homeless 60 year olds has increased (and it would be nice to know what that number is), but we cannot tell from this article. Policy changes in the 1970s — closing of state mental hospitals and the Vietnam war — dramatically increased the number of homeless. That group has gotten older. But it is very unclear that there are new factors that are forcing baby boomers into homelessness.
