Homelessness declining after years of increases
Summary
For the first time since COVID, the county's point-in-time homelessness count dropped — from 523 people in 2025 to 394 this year. City investments in shelter off-ramps, transitional housing funds, and LIHTC partnerships got credit. Commissioners warned one good year isn't a trend and asked how to keep the momentum when one-time money runs out.
