The Office of Homeless Services released its 2026 "Point-in-Time" count from February.
It found that overall homelessness dropped nearly 7% over the last year, from just over 5,500 people down to a little more than 5,100 people.
According to the count, which was conducted on a single night, 711 of those people were unsheltered or sleeping outside.
Officials say that is a 39% decrease from 2025, and the first time that number has gone down in two years.
Sheltered homelessness, including those living in emergency housing, did tick up about 2%, to nearly 4,500 people.
