San Francisco reported a 37% reduction in the number of tents and structures on sidewalks, parks, and other public spaces over the past year. This change is attributed to HSOC outreach workers placing thousands from encampments into shelters and apartments. A Chronicle analysis found that the reductions in tents and vehicles occupied by the homeless varied by neighborhood, with some areas seeing an increase. Meanwhile, the City of Phoenix's new 2024 Point-in-Time homelessness count data shows an increase in sheltered individuals and a decrease in unsheltered individuals. This improvement is a result of the city's investment in creating new shelter beds.
