* That doesn't fall prey to the No True Scotsman fallacy
- tootie 10y agoI don't see how that fallacy can apply. We have pretty good definitions for chronically homeless. Here's a good summary, and there's a linked PDF with more data. Exhibit 2.7 in the PDF says that among the single homeless population (not families) 68% are substance abusers and 48% are mentally ill. http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/526/homeless-facts.html http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/526/homeless-facts.html
