Yes, just giving homeless people there own private rooms is a cost-effective solution. Having people live on the streets ends up being very expensive (emergency rooms, jail, etc). Shelters with shared rooms are scary and unappealing. Giving people stable, long-term, private homes helps them get their lives together and saves society money overall. It's important for these programs that people have privacy and automony to bring friends over and use alcohol and drugs in their home if they choose. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/housing-first-solution-to-homelessness-utah http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/housing-first-so... http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/22/home-free http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/22/home-free http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/04/housing-homeless-silicon-valley_n_7504564.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/04/housing-homeless-si... http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/09/homeless-budget-cuts-housing-crisis http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/09/homeles...
