#housing-first

holy shit:

[blogwizard]

this is also a constant battle! I know that we've all been trained that we can only call out if it's dire so we feel the need to over-explain what the deal is but first of all I only need details if I need to make arrangements for returning to work and second of all I don't need to wake up to a text detailing your child's diarrhea.

Finland’s housing-first approach, and why it succeeds (underlying structures, policies, and ideology).

Could this work in North America? Yes, IF the appropriate policy supports are put in place and it’s adequately funded.

Without some form of public land ownership and funding for the onsite social services, and work to change attitudes on whether people “deserve” housing, it would likely get mired in NIMBYism.
