   This from @ablackcatstail is one of those things where the naive gut reaction is that it’s horrible

   and then you learn more and realize it’s actually a very nuanced and complicated situation

   and then you learn •even• more and realize that the original gut reaction was basically spot on.

     Homelessness is one of those things where the most simple-minded it-can’t-be-that-easy analysis turns out to be the correct one:

     If you don’t want people to be unhoused, then give them housing.

     @inthehands@hachyderm.io Former housing officer here. The Housing First model isn't simply giving people houses, it's housing them as the immediate priority, then directing homelessness support services to helping them maintain those tenancies.
     
     Depending on their specific needs, this could be light and temporary support, anywhere up to complex packages of long-term care involving multiple health and other professionals.

     @BarrenPlanet Yeah, didn’t mean to imply that one •stops• with providing housing! I’ll edit to clarify.
