if you give houses to homeless people indiscrimately, many of those houses will be uninhabitable in 2 years. What do you do then? Give them another house to wreck?

Got any sources on that claim, or are you just assuming homeless people are inherently incapable of taking care of themselves?

None of these articles discuss failures of a housing first policy, and they all seem to focus on the same single hotel.

I didn't make any claims about housing first policy, read the comment you are replying to. I know you barely looked at the articles because they are not about the same single hotel.

Leaving these literature reviews on housing first policy here for those who want to form their own opinion instead of getting it from right-wing "news" articles:
