Let’s see your study. What do you know that HUD experts don’t?

People also said you can’t solve homelessness by giving them homes, and Finland did it with ease.

    For example, California spent over $24 billion over a period of five years and didn't even make a dent.

    Homelessness is not a simple problem you can just throw money at. People will consistently fall through the societal cracks.

    Yes, California’s half-assed efforts have been rife with fraud and waste.

    Similarly, it costs many billions more to fund our half-assed healthcare system than it would be to simply give people healthcare. Dealing with problems in a way that only attacks the symptoms is far more expensive and wasteful.

    But it has been proven that guaranteeing housing is both cheaper and produces superior results.
