BEDFORD --- Eight months after a public meeting and a vow by state Rep. Ken Gordon that he would work with the state to find permanent homes for homeless famlies placed in a Bedford hotel, the number of homeless families living in town has dropped from 90 to 24. Aaron Gornstein, the state's Undersecretary for Housing, explained that the increase in homeless families placed in Bedford and other communities was due to a spike in homelessness late last year but in the last several months, dozens of families have been moved from the Bedford Plaza Hotel into affordable housing.
