PRESS RELEASE: Chester County Reaches Functional Zero Milestone for Chronic Homelessness

“Thanks to the dedication and hard work of community partners, Chester County has reached a functional zero milestone for chronic homelessness, the Chester County Department of Community Development announced at its recent State of Housing Affordability and Homelessness in Chester County event.

Chronic homelessness refers to long-lasting or recurring homelessness that affects a community’s most vulnerable residents. Achieving this functional zero milestone is the result of a countywide, coordinated, data-driven entry system that has successfully reduced chronic homelessness to a rare, manageable level.”
