When you’re experiencing homelessness, the need for housing *eclipses* any other issue.
People who are given a safe & stable place to live before addressing other less critical needs are more likely to attain long term housing stability.

"The idea that cracking down on substance abuse will solve homelessness is based on the erroneous belief that addiction itself causes homelessness. People who work to assist the unhoused know this is rarely the case." buff.ly/3xgycAM
