This article basically says 'these 5 common claimed causes do not correlate with homelessness, while housing does correlate with homelessness'. Also I suspect there is a bit of world play here with the terms 'chronically homeless' and 'homeless'. If you showed me a 'chronically homeless' person and a 'non-chronically homeless' person I would likely only detect one homeless person. What percentage of homeless are chronically homeless? And if we ignore non-chronically homeless people what happens to the 5 non-causes?
- nearbuy 3y agoI've read before that the most common amount of time for someone to be homeless is one day. Temporary homelessness is comparatively common. If they are grouping the temporary homeless with the chronically homeless, that would totally invalidate arguments like, "only a third of homeless people have serious mental illness".
