We don’t have a homeless problem, I am considered homeless by my state of residence. People couch surfing are considered homeless as well.
Homelessness is a symptom of other problems such as untreated mental illness and substance abuse. You need to work on the underlying cause of the homelessness. You have to treat the illness of the individual, not the symptom. Giving housing to a homeless drug addict doesn’t work without treatment. Otherwise, as the homeless are a bit tribal and help each other, you end up with him/her inviting all of his/her shoot up buddies to share their new pad. I’ve seen it. It’s a mess.
Some people are happily homeless, I am one of them.
