The prediction stated that homelessness funding effectiveness in California was unlikely to improve without an independent third-party overseer. However, data from early 2026 indicates a significant 9% drop in unsheltered homelessness in 2025, demonstrating an improvement in effectiveness. While oversight mechanisms have been strengthened with new agencies and legislative scrutiny, the establishment of a distinct 'independent third party' as a prerequisite for improvement has not been the sole driver of this positive outcome.
