Finally, a sliver of good news: US homelessness actually dropped
After years of things just getting worse, the numbers finally decided to head in the right direction.
It feels like we’ve been hearing nothing but depressing updates on the housing crisis for ages. Well, for once, the data is actually bucking the trend. Homelessness in the United States just saw its biggest dip in over a decade.
Of course, there are still nearly 700,000 people without a home, so it’s hardly time for a victory lap. Naturally, the Trump administration and housing advocates are already playing a game of 'who gets the credit' with totally different theories on why this happened. It’s a bit like watching people argue over who won a game that nobody actually finished playing.
The housing crisis is still a massive, systemic nightmare despite this slight shift in the numbers.
