Needs (2020). I find a recent report [0] that shows that the trend has continued, though interestingly only Helsinki has actually shown significant improvements:
> Of the large cities, Helsinki is the only one where homelessness has
systematically decreased in the past five years. In other large cities, the
pattern has been more irregular (Figures 4 and 5). The reduction in
homelessness in Helsinki covers more than half of the reduction in
homelessness in the whole country.
Also worth noting from that report is that it has data going back to 1986 in an appendix (page 25) and the downward trend in homelessness dates back at least that far. The homeless rate had already cut in more than half by 2008 when this program started.
