This helps the short term homeless. Long term homeless often have problems that can't be met just by giving them housing.
- tim333 11y agoIf you give them housing they may still have problems but at least they won't be homeless.
- leshow 11y agoby definition giving them housing would make them not homeless.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoAssuming they would accept it and stay in it. As I said, that would work great for the short term homeless, but for many (not all) of the long term homeless, they have mental issues strong enough that they would end up homeless again.
