I'm a little surprised by the numbers in the control group, but maybe I'm not understanding the study. Would large (e.g. 20%) reductions in homelessness be expected in any homeless population over the same time period?

There are waiting lists for low cost and free housing. Over time that group will get some and a new group will become homeless.
