You have to do it well though. In San Francisco we have homeless shelters that are so clearly alienating that people choose not to go. If you wouldn’t accept the housing we’re offering to others then it might not be a suitable solution. But if the homeless rates are much lower in Germany than in the US, it seems things like guaranteed housing probably have a lot to do with that.
- constantcrying 2y ago>Europe has homeless but the rates are much lower. Do you have evidence for that? In a comment below I listed the numbers for Germany and the US. Apparently Germany has a much bigger problem. >Legally guaranteed housing would I think pretty clearly make a huge difference in the US. Why? It does not put Germany above the US, in relative numbers Germany is 4x worse. Even the ratio of homeless and homeless sheltered is the same.
