    Need to save this, in case some “conservative” moron tries to tell me again, that providing housing to homeless solves nothing.

    But the right-wing idiots in Finland are working on destroying this too

    In the last year, national cuts to income, social security, and housing support have resulted in the first notable change to homelessness trends in over 11 years.

      Here’s an older article from a city in Canada with similar findings, along with a few more savings figures and reasons why ‘housing first’ works.

      I didn’t find any updated figures with a quick search, but it looks like there was $1m/yr funding committed in 2021 for a similar purpose.
