    Aside from the fact that having a safe place to live alone helps both mental illness and substance abuse in most individuals, a major cause of homelessness is domestic abuse and being disowned. Having a safe place to live will absolutely help the over a third of domestic abuse victims who become homeless, and would help those who cannot afford to get away from their abusers due to lack of ability to find a safe haven.

    Home the homeless, then we can start working on the harder parts.

        That too. There are so many reasons for homing the homeless first.

        It’s probably the cheapest and most effective first step. There’s so much more that will need to follow it. There’s a lot going on. But home the homeless first.

          The entire system requires homeless people to exist as a threat to the working class.

          Homeless will never get fixed for this reasons.

          We can’t even provide decent health care to the paying customers lol
