    Sure, simply providing housing may not solve everything, and complex measures must be taken to ensure mental wellbeing, fiscal responsibility, lack of addictions etc.

    But housing and income must come first, as not having that prevents effective therapy. When you’re in survival mode, you’re not particularly productive resolving your other issues.

      Yes, everyone should have housing. But you do need assistance programs to help with the trauma and underlying causes.

        Absolutely. Not housing only, but housing first. The rest should come as well.
