Not really a different take at all. It also notes that the policy is very effective. Close the homeless shelters and hostels, give them housing. The rest of the part you quote is revealing: "Finland’s experiment in ending rough sleeping has caught the attention of policymakers for one reason: It’s working. Called Housing First, the Finnish model aggressively closed homeless shelters, calling them traps, and did not require participants battling addictions to recover before receiving keys to a home."
