I’ve heard it firsthand from someone working with the homeless that some are offered places to live but prefer the street. It’s a mental health crisis as much as it’s about available housing.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoThat assumes that any housing is better than living in a tent. That assumes that any deal that gets you into any housing is a good deal, or at least not worse than sleeping under the stars. Those assumptions are unwarranted.
- Joeri 7y agoIn communal housing they’re often a target of theft and extortion. A house is not a house if you are not secure there, even a tent is better then. Not saying there aren’t homeless with nental health issues, just that the situation is very unique to the individual and not that clearcut.
