Is it true that building more housing reduces homelessness?
Unclear. The retrieved items offer only partial support: one study finds housing market tightness and rents explain much of the variation in U.S. homelessness and that modest affordability improvements can reduce it, and another finds permanent supportive housing reduces homelessness among people with mental and substance use disorders. None directly tests whether building more housing reduces homelessness in general.
