MASS.-WIDE—The rise comes as homelessness drops in most of the nation: "The data compiled by HUD shows that Massachusetts had the second highest increase in its homeless population between 2013 and 2014, with 2,208 people while only trails New York. HUD estimates the Commonwealth's homeless population now stands at 21,237, which constitutes roughly three to six percent of its entire population." [BostInno]
