Mm I don't think this is the solution to homelessness. It's not that we don't have enough housing it's that the working class gets pushed down so much and can't work despite wanting to. But I'm not qualified to solve homelessness so who am I to tell them how to spend their money.
There are strategies to
Have individual homes for people to reside in; this gives people privacy, some sense of permanence, and a safe space to simply exist. This reduces the psychological stresses of simply trying to exist. This also has the upside of having a permanent address to have things like a bank account, contact point for Medicaid, etc.
"Safe" access to drugs. A lot of people would be on some kind of drug. Having a safe place lets them do what they need to and have established residence to get help when they need it, like an ambulance going to an address for ODs
Have medical support. Professionals can help ween off of hard drugs and/or find appropriate drugs for what ever health issues they have.
Finally they can take a shower and get themselves presentable to interview for work.
I worked adjacent to some org buying the back lot of a school to convert into this kind of housing for homeless teens; above is what I can recall when reading into the program.
Yeah this is all as a result of late stage capitalism. If we had some free childcare, free healthcare, accessible rehab, job assistance, more green spaces, I'm sure homelessness will go down significantly. But we're doing the opposite of all of this.
It is in the sense that providing houses fixes homelessness. It isn't in the sense that relying on individual charity won't fix the problem as a nation.
We don't really need tiny homes. We need more mid size apartments and more 5 over 1 large apartments. Homelessness wouldn't happen to a lot of people if we had cheap 600$ apartments.
