One of my projects is analyzing my data during various housing periods in the past 3-10 years like receipts, as a basis for the Physics concept art at the end. It’s open source and writing is not my primary vocation but I have the distilled experience there and am working on editing and the data.
Thanks for addressing drugs and mental illness as you did, as well. I’d add that those things likely increase as people are stuck on the street and face adversity and lose hope. I manage to evade detection as homeless for the most part, got tough in lockdown without showers and with reduced bathroom access. Hard to stay employed without a shower, hence housing is critical to the bootstrap process of “get a job, bum!”
