Cory Lovera Interview – Chester County reaches ‘functional zero milestone’ for chronic homelessness. What does that mean?

A “functional zero” means that three or fewer people were experiencing chronic homelessness in Chester County.

For the first time since Chester County began tracking the data in 2023, the county achieved a “functional zero milestone” for chronic homelessness in December 2025 and January 2026.

A “functional zero” means that three or fewer people were experiencing chronic homelessness. During each of those months, officials logged just three people fitting the category. The monthly average is around 11.
