It's time for us to replicate the success and value of the "Housing First" homeless solutions
Housing First is an approach to tackling homelessness that prioritizes quickly moving individuals experiencing homelessness into stable, long-term housing with supportive services—unlike traditional models that require individuals to meet certain conditions, such as sobriety or employment, before receiving housing,
Housing First recognizes that stable housing is a fundamental necessity for addressing the overwhelming challenges that individuals may face, such as mental health or substance abuse issues. By providing individuals with a residence of their own, Housing First programs allow them to focus on addressing other underlying challenges, empowering them to take control of their lives. This approach has been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of homelessness and associated costs to emergency services, hospitals, and the criminal justice system. By providing individuals with a way out of poverty, they can begin the longer journey of reclaiming their dignity, pride, and self-worth.
