    Giving people housing doesn’t solve the problems that caused them to be homeless in the first place.

    Yes

    Now you have a concentrated block of people with not just issues, but subscriptions. Mental health, drug, and alcohol abuse.

    Yes

    You have to address those issues FIRST, THEN get them housed.

    No.

    You house them and then help then with those issues while in their new homes.

    Now the hard and really really important part, you address what caused the issues they were facing.

    You create jobs (big incentives for businesses to set up near by), you directly employ people in meaningful government funded projects.

    You provide first rate education opertunities (both for adults and children).

    You provide good high quality social areas (both indoor and outdoor).

    You provide first rate socially funded healthcare both for physical and mental issues.

    You legalise drugs so their access can be safe and better controlled. You use the tax money from that to go hard on any non legal drugs.

        Not as a default. People should only be hospitalised if they medically need it.

        It also doesn’t address the societal issues which lead to their addiction in the first place.

          Again, that’s what I’m talking about. If someone is mentally ill or has addiction issues so severe they are homeless then hospitalization is medically necessary.

          Get them fit first, get them the tools they need to survive, then get them housed.

          Otherwise all you’re doing is sealing them in a room with untreated issues, making it all 1000x worse.

            I find the commie block for homeless idea deplorable for this reason. Shuffle all societies undesirables into a ghetto and just expect it to work out. Gee has this been tried before?

            How the fuck can notary can notarize selling home by an addict? They are supposed to verify mental wellbeing of both parites, especially seller. Not just home, but the only home! Notaries refuse selling the only home even by mentally stable and not addicted people for tiniest reasons.

              Oh, nobody is talking about SELLING homes to addicts, they’re owned by some non-profit and are just supposed to give them to addicts. :)

            That’s fair. My point is unless you also at least try to fix the issue in society that caused them to get ill in the first place they’re just either going to relapse, or are best someone else will end up in their place.
